They deserve to lose and those who have 'tricked' them should be prosecuted. We can have both. Culpability of one side doesn't make the other side innocent victims. It's not bad people against good people, it's bad people everywhere in this situation.

There is also an amount of blame on our government and the shameful treatment of educating society. In a Capitalist driven country, as the USA is, the education system's complete lack of common sense financial literacy is a classic recipe for creating scams. I have a graduate economics degree. I seriously investigated bitcoin and crypto back in '07-'08. There is no "there" there. Cryptocurrencies use an artful abuse of financial terms with their own separate definitions in the cryptoworld. The confusion is intended and part of the scam.

Rick Scott says there was no right to a free public education in the Constitution.

Ponder that for a while.

Not sure what your point is other than a snarky comment.

Does the Constitution mention public schools at all? No. Ponder that for a while.
