Where are the regulators and enforcers when we actually need them? How is any high up in this institution not arrested yet? What the hell are they doing?

Like is this a psyop to destroy crypto? Is this preferential treatment of SBF due to his donations/regulatory capture? Imagine if there was a mass shooter in a crowd of people and they just let him continue firing until he ran out of ammo, that's analogous to what's happening right now. Absolutely insane.




I would remind you that classifying crypto to be securities would very easily make all of this illegal. Yet the crypto sphere fought tooth and nail against this.


> Like is this a psyop to destroy crypto

Why would the government get their hands dirty when crypto can self-implode on its own.


Regulators are like the fire trucking coming after the home burned down. Regulators seem to do a poor at at stopping people from being scammed. Scammers keep coming up with new types of scams that evade regulators, and people keep falling for them.


interesting hypothetical with the mass shooter. crypto regulations being what they are, you would need some equivalent of a "good guy with a gun" to take out the bad one.
