When the cops arrest someone stealing from a grocery, I too immediately assume that it's because they want one of the fifths he filched.

- nickpinkston 1y agoThis actually does happen for certain crimes in racketeering cases, and SEC/DOJ often run closer to the latter (ie small token fines, which are just the cost of doing business). The difference being that SEC/DOJ are more worried that more than token fines to big corporations would cause political blowback for the agency and their careers. The current collusion of this gov't with wealthy crypto interests seems like both of these: political blowback and direct insider kickbacks (TrumpCoin, TACO trade, etc.)
