Now they'll scapegoat cryptocurrency even though its use for ML amounts to a tiny percentage of the massive global ML industry. The vast majority of ML is via real estate, all manner of fake businesses and fake equity deals, the "aaaaaaht" market, creative use of things like penny stocks, etc. This is sort of like how they go after street dealers and small time drug "kingpins" while the real leaders of the industry (and there's a heavy overlap there with the major players in ML) aren't prosecuted. The real drug kingpins generally don't touch the product.
