  Do you really think it matters? Nobody touched the bankers over the financial crisis because they didn't want to touch them, not because nothing "illegal" was going on.

Meanwhile they added 13 bogus charges against Aaron Swartz with a maximum sentence of 35 years for making some documents that were already internally public at the MIT, available to everyone. If the gov wants to make an example out of Coinbase, especially after they put up a fight in the SEC case, then they will.
