Combination of all of them? After all, you say yourself, one of the most informed journalists on the space is doing an excellent job. The mainstream definitely doesn't understand crypto. (Hell, SBF himself paid for TV ads telling them they didn't have to!) Madoff had easier precedences to compare to and validate for themselves vs trying to figure out if the various crypto-sphere tweets and blog posts "proving" fraud are actually proof and such. The FTX story, if half the stuff I've seen linked on HN is too believe, also has a believability hurdle to the uninformed of being UNBELIEVABLY STUPID. "They did almost literally no accounting at all and transparently bought houses with company funds" yet they also raised crazy $$$ from so-called reputable investors? Surely that can't be true!!
