The first time worked so well, that they will do it again.
This helps confirm to me that the true function of cryptocurrency is to put real world wealth into the hands of those who start crypto currency exchanges.

How dumb would a person have to be to give these people your money?

In a normal non-dysfunctional society, these people would serve time and be banned from securities trading for life. Heck, Martha Stuart went to prison for essentially nothing.

Punishing criminals doesn’t really act as a deterrent to other criminals. If it did we would not have criminals at all. They always think they can get away with it. Locking them up does get them out of circulation for a time. But soon as they get out they go back to it. These Bankman associates are no different. Hopefully they violate laws in the Muslim nation of their choice. Muslims have a more permanent way of dealing with these types of criminals.

I still can’t fathom why these exist outside of tracking digital information. I do appreciate it can be used outside the central bank’s claws. But really? $40,000 for a line of code?

As an aside. I had a business associate who was ALL IN on crypto. He called me up and told me to BUY BUY BUY these little ‘coins.’ They were 8 cents when he told me. A few weeks later they were up over $1. Today.... The same ‘coin’ is worth $.007.
