But you are not advocating for outlawing banking, which despite the centuries of regulations and oversight, still recently in our modern age conducted crime at vast scale.

Yet crypto should be banned? When we are throwing them in jail?

You're making a false assumption, which is that I don't want to throw a lot of bankers in jail. Or really just prohibit them from doing banking anymore, since I don't really like jails.

Did you read their post? They specifically stated that what’s important is proportion of fraud to useful activity. There’s fraud in banking, but in proportion to the useful activity it’s small.
