Right, and as I was trying to say below, of the egregious ways law-breaking has occurred in SV, crypto strikes me as one of the theoretically least harmful, in kind of a caveat emptor way? E.g. Google etc. violated intellectual property rights; Uber et al broke "rules of the road" and other liability related issues, real people stuff. Crypto? Strong argument of "if you don't like it, don't use it?" It absolutely sucks, but you could argue most of the people who got harmed by it were looking for a quick buck, something about "you can't cheat an honest man." (Again, I don't actually fully subscribe to this, I think it's still bad to prey on people with money problems, but I still think its worth considering)
