Readit NewsI am sure everyone has seen a shooting star. Planes don't move like shooting starts or whatever is in this vide.
I think it's safe to conclude that this is not a plane nor a meteor.
First likely hit I found:
"Meteors enter the atmosphere at speeds ranging from 11 km/sec...to 72 km/sec ... The wide range in meteoroid speeds is caused partly by the fact that the Earth itself is traveling at about 30 km/sec (67,000 mph) as it revolves around the sun. On the evening side, or trailing edge of the Earth, meteoroids must catch up to the earth’s atmosphere to cause a meteor, and tend to be slow. On the morning side, or leading edge of the earth, meteoroids can collide head-on with the atmosphere and tend to be fast."
Eg: The episode marked an important step on the Bank’s transformation from private institution to a central bank.. A decade after the Armistice, the altered role of the Bank prompted creation of a Parliamentary commission to examine its functions, ultimately setting it on a path to nationalisation

I believe that's what was meant by "fake". In other words, inauthentic.
As far as the transformation from "private institution" to central bank, are you suggesting that this was a form of Open Market Operations?
Also I did not know there were conspiracy theories about the LINCOLN assassination. It's very quaint!
What I'm suggesting is that the official account makes no sense. Mary Lincoln Todd waits for Booth to do all of his theatrics, instead of immediately screaming "EVERYONE WITH A GUN SHOOT THAT MAN".
I am not suggesting it anything beyond that. But I am not terminally naïve.
I challenge you to look for good historical analysis of the situation. There isn't that much.
I disagree with your assumptions, and appeal to authority.
There are more details readily available that are known, but some we may never know. Booth barricaded the door upstairs. So the security guards would had hard time getting in upstairs. As soon as Booth landed on the stage he was chased by Major Joseph B. Stewart and footlights. They had to climb onto the stage over the orchestra pit.
The drop from the balcony to the stage is not certain, some records put it at 12', some at 15'. Basically a first floor (2nd in US) window. There are ample stories where people fall from heights with minimal to no injury. The stage is wood scaffolding, that gives on impact. It is elevated, and there is low-headroom space under it. "At first, the crowd interpreted the unfolding drama as part of the production, but a scream from the first lady told them otherwise."[0] There were screams and pandemonium. [1] Smithsonian has even more details, including how someone recalls Booth's spur getting caught while jumping in the flag draped over the front, potentially slowing his fall, but landing on hands and knees.

And as Booth is being a Marvel action hero (a man in his 40s), everyone is standing around twiddling their thumbs? Including the military detachment outside. The story is not realistic on any level.
You're putting a lot of weight on "you can't hold onto something from a 15' drop" to dismiss everything, even though there were hundreds of witnesses, many of whom were interviewed about the events.
Why don't you go ahead and tell us your theory of what happened. I almost guarantee it is more outlandish than "he held onto a knife from a 15' drop"

Atleast SBF took the extra step of first funneling money to Alameda and then directing Alameda to send it back to him and then send it to his dad as a tax free gift.
That way he could honestly say he personally has no money left.
That atleast makes it harder for FTX to claw back that money.
One interesting thing a lawyer pointed out to me is that a lawyer has a duty to ensure that the money used to pay them wasn't from the proceeds of a crime.
I wonder how SBF's lawyers have done thier diligence in this case and satisified themselves that this wont' get them into trouble with the state bar.
I am pretty sure it's the source of the money that matters more (legal vs. illegal) than whether the accounting tricks are legally sound.
What you're saying sounds like "at least he wasn't a complete numb-nuts", but that's not much of an "at least" in this scenario.
I am pretty sure the courts will be looking for an "at least he wasn't stealing from his customers".
At least, that's the sane hope.
