> yeah you have to turn off your pattern recognition or else be called a bad name

I don't see what's wrong with having "crypto=fraud" pattern recognition?

(Especially "staking"/"yield farming"! Anyone offering risk free high return is being dishonest about one of those two aspects)

Another good piece of pattern recognition: is this being run from a financial secrecy or tax evasion jurisdiction? (In this case, the Bahamas)

Well you didn't understand what I was implying: Enron's Skilling is in prison, Theranos' Holmes is being sentenced to prison, Do Kwon of Terra is a fugitive, the Bitconnect guy is a fugitive. The only guy from 2008 to go to prison was Kareem Serageldin, an Egyptian.

Celsius' Mashinsky, MtGox's Karpales didn't go to prison, and I bet Bankman-Fried won't either. Epstein has been investigated by the FBI for 20 years before going to prison and during the Deutsche Bank - Epstein trial a pizza delivery guy rang the door of the son of the judge overseeing the trial, and shot him dead after he opened the door.

Is you don't see a pattern between the two paragraphs then what do you want me to tell you, just stick to the news.
