Meets Robin Vos' "Sophisticated People" Criterion!!

 Robin Vos mentioned to Jay Weber that "sophisticated people" will shun Trump.

So here's a "sophisticated" person!!

...Bankman-Fried was nothing if not well-connected. His father, Joseph Bankman, is the Ralph M. Parsons Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School, while his mother, Barbara Fried, is the William W. and Gertrude H. Saunders Professor of Law at Stanford. SBF attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where “he graduated with a degree in physics and a minor in mathematics” in 2014. This is an important data point — whatever else you may say about Samuel Bankman-Fried, he is not stupid....

He's so "sophisticated" that several hundred million dollars followed him right out of customer and investor accounts. 

He also had a "sophisticated" gal-pal!!

...Say hello to SBF’s girlfriend/business partner, Caroline Ellison who, like Bankman-Fried, comes from an academic family. Her father, Glenn Ellison, is the Gregory K. Palm Professor of Economics at MIT. Caroline Ellison graduated from Stanford University in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. So the MIT/Stanford nexus is strong here and, if you’re old enough to remember the Vietnam War, you’re probably thinking about The Best and the Brightest — very smart people with degrees from elite schools who bring about catastrophic failure....

Sorta like the Wisconsin Republican Party's failure in the '20 and '22 elections.

But Robin approved.
