If you rob a bank and then win the lottery, you still robbed the bank.

  Yeah, but also, if the hole is $0 vs $8 billion, you probably get less jail time.

    Don't be too sure, that's not how it played out for Martin Shkreli.

      We can never know the outcome of the counterfactual scenario for Shkreli.

  Totally agree but it is a strange situation. Everyone will probably be made whole now

    Feels like the best situation. Those who had their cash/investment misappropriated get it back, and someone who clearly should not have been in a position to have that much responsibility and power has been removed.

  True, so the bank robber should be tried for bank robbery. The question here is whether the bank can get back some or all of the stolen money, i.e. can FTX customers get back the money & cryptocurrency they gave to FTX for safe keeping, maybe as shares in Anthropic?

  Indeed, but the DOJ might have never found out.
