Disruptor, Criminal, or Threat to the State? — SF686

from Stay Free with Russell Brand

We're back after a week away, diving into *Free Joby*, a documentary about early Bitcoin advocate Joby Weeks, who was arrested and later convicted on fraud-related charges tied to crypto promotions during the industry's chaotic early years. The film presents the case that he was made an example of — targeted as a disruptive figure in a space threatening traditional finance — rather than treated proportionately under the law. We explore the idea that when governments perceive someone as a threat, they neutralise first and justify later, asking whether this was prosecution for crime or punishment for disruption.
