Success even when obtained with some illegality is fine so long as it plays well with the interests of elites. Kim didn't just break the law, he also painted himself a target by upsetting people with power.
For all of his flaws, I think where I'd give someone like SBF a significant amount of credit is that he understood very well that if he wanted to do dodgy things he had to remain on the right side of those in power.
Kim hasn't played the game right. Had he tried to win friends from the start he may not be in the situation he's in now.

- roca 2y agoDotcom did absolutely nothing to "upset people with power". He was always just an obnoxious hustler trying to make money by obviously illegal means.
