Anyone can put scam token on Ethereum, just like anyone can publish a website. It has no relevance to Ethereum whatsoever. What the poster meant was that the FTX, the organization, was not an Ethereum protocol, it was just a centralized financial institution that published some random token.

My response addresses their point exactly. FTT being on the blockchain did not solve the problems, and she is specifically being charged with fraudulent on-chain activity (not just fraud on the edges).

As for the protocols, I don't blame the technology, I blame the culture. The culture that surrounds crypto is uniquely prone to perpetuating scams. That's not the fault of the technologists who started the movement, it's what happened when crypto became a gold rush.
