I think both the original post and this comment don’t do a great job at capturing the nuance of what’s going on. I think the original post makes many valid points and isn’t “90% just a confusion”, and I suspect in fact may end up looking like it was correct about some of its key claims. But, I also suspect it’ll be wrong on a lot of the details/specifics, and in particular it seems problematic to me that it makes fairly severe accusations without clear caveats on what we know and what we don’t know at this point.
I probably should have said “90% of the title allegation is just a confusion.” I don’t have much to say about the other accusations scattered through the post which aren’t relevant to the legal claim. Some of these might be correct but if they aren’t relevant to the core accusation they can be somewhat confusing in their own right, if not clearly demarcated, by further muddling things.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if someone on the GAP leadership team had indeed participated in an illegal straw donor scheme, given media reports and general impressions of how recklessly some of the SBF-adjacent politics stuff was carried out. But, I do think the specific title allegation is worded too strongly and sweepingly given the lack of clear evidence, and will probably turn out to be wrong.

(I downvoted both this comment and the OP.)
