Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

The argument "I'm sorry, I didn't know rape/murder was illegal" does not have _any_ value in a court of law.

It's not, but for people desperately hoping for crypto to recover, "your savings disappeared because of that crypto-bro's you trusted ignorance" is a less bad spin than "your savings disappeared because of that crypto-bro's you trusted malice"
