| Probably would have made his crimes less visible, but not less criminal. |

| Like Martin Shkreli, who made his investors whole with his gambling, but still went to jail. |

| Yes but investors being whole and profitable would almost certainly have not resulted in jail time. He probably would have even had enough unquestionably personal returns to pay back any misappropriated funds in a negotiated settlement, if they even come to light at all. |

| Let's not pretend there aren't multitudes out there doing similar things who never get caught. SBF was just more egregious and untimely w/ his actions. |

| ▲ | HaZeust 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, but they're not playing with institutional money. They're not messing with people that have world-leaders on speed dial. Crypto gets away with what it does because when you enter an explicitly laissez-faire side of life, expect people to act laissez-faire. The rest is fraud/laundering/illicit activity tracking, which is why KYC requirements were passed right on schedule. |
