Not hypocritic at all. From a legal perspective even illegal made money is money made and therefore subject of taxation. Tecnically you even have to describe the means by that you have come to it. Otherwise you are commiting tax evasion. For example if you sell 100k worth of access to documented child abuse, you have to pay taxes on those 100k. Thats why you have to launder money made from illegal activities
The most beautiful being: "The cryptocurrencies scam should all stop but, please, let us collect all the due taxes on the gains you made".
From that standpoint which one is it: are they legal or illegal? Because it's funny that they both want it to be illegal, yet they want people to pay taxes on the gains they made.
Hypocrites.
