I have some questions about what Changpeng Zhao gave to the feds

Whatever CZ gave to the feds, it must've been a fucking goldmine.
-
you know, I'm not a fan of the carceral system (and even less so the US flavour of it), but this is so fucked. it's a god damned shame that it's presently likely these dirtbags will never pay their due to society[0] for all the harm they caused
([0] - not that sticking someone in a concrete cell is in any way addressing that debt, ofc)
-
to be fair, CZ is absolutely the richest guy in a US cell right now, and possibly ever (though I haven't checked the latter)

I think this might have basis as well in the lenient treatment of banks in the past for similar crimes. Which is also a shame.
-
so what happens with those is crippling compliance obligations, which Binance was also hit with

Apparently, if you want to get away with crimes, you should find someone you can rat on and commit them in a way that makes that person highly complicit.
