There’s actually some nuance to this. One of Apple’s big requirements was to have quite lax acceptance criteria. They didn’t want lots of their customers being denied for cards and creating a negative brand association. Apparently GS was up

They are making a not-subtle insinuation that he’s engaging in stimulant drug abuse. How that relates to an executive engaged in sudden extremely aggressive and over the top and highly personal scorched earth attack campaign over what appea

They were targeting companies that performed market manipulation as a service for creators of crypto coins. So they created a coin to pose as a customer of this service. It’s just not entrapment at all, it’s not similar or close to entrapme
