He's at 743 Cooksey Lane, Stanford, CA 94305, according to some whitepages site. I biked by, but didn't see any obvious security guys or anything else unusual. It's probably worth about $4M, but Stanford owns the land and doesn't sell.

I wonder how they can be so wrong time and time again.
Don't watch anything from television for a MONTH, and I guarantee you will feel better. First few days, you're going to legitimately experience withdrawal. It's a drug, and it's the worst drug on the planet.
That's literally the shittiest $4M home I've ever seen.

I haven't watched TV since COVID! started, which now is full 3 years.

That shit hole is worth $4M??? Move out of that place if you biked by it, meaning you're somewhat close.
Zestimate
$4,050,400

I have Hulu so I can watch reruns. Right now my wife and I are watching M.A.S.H.
MICHAEL HUDSON: Well the whole mythology and fantasy of crypto has been burst, especially with Bankman-Fried.
Crypto was supposed to be — they called it peer-to-peer lending. The peer-to-peer lending was, the person who bought the crypto took money out of the bank and paid for crypto with a bank transfer fee — was one peer.
Who’s the other peer? The other peer was Bankman-Fried, and he could do whatever he wanted with his money.
The crypto cover story was, “Well, we know that the economy’s messed up and we don’t like big government and we don’t like the bank, so here’s an alternative to the banks, putting your money in that bank and putting your money, depending on government fiat currencies.”
So people would put their money into crypto, thinking, this is something different from the banks. And yet it turns out — what did the crypto companies do?
If you get a billion dollars of inflow by people who want an alternative, what are you going to do with a billion dollars?
Well Bankman-Fried simply bought luxury real estate and gave money to the Democratic Part and a few Republicans for campaign contributions to buy influence.

Yeah, Fed oversight is sloppy therefore there shouln't be any fucking oversight at all.... Wait, what?
I LOATHE television, and I'm beginning to feel the same way about films. They warp your sense of reality.
I honestly think Hollywood is designed to brainwash people.
They were kind of all over the place with the propaganda, but it was definitely there, and I don't object to ALL propaganda, just propaganda that is not true.
If I watch an episode of Star Trek the original series, I can CLEARLY see a lot of propaganda in many of the episodes. Klingons were the Russians, The Federation were the Americans
That's the rub. What is true?
These days, they just cancel, deplatform, and un-bank you (best case)
Yes, blatantly so. The Vulcans were the Japanese. Romulans were the Chinese.
Star Trek even mimicked Chernobyl in "Undiscovered Country" when a Klingon power plant on a Klingon moon blew up and doomed the Klingon Empire.

Chekov: We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.
Azetbur: Inalien? If you could only hear yourselves. Human rights. Why, the very name is racist. The Federation is no more than a "homo sapiens only" club.
I wonder how they can be so wrong time and time again.
