Yes - he campaigned on making America more crypto-friendly in general; this could also be read as part of making good on that promise.

I hope this is satire. Only a moron would think this.

It answers the question posed. Unless you think only morons have opinions that differ from yours.

Moronic opinions are still moronic and should be called out as such. Making America more crypto friendly by pardoning fraudsters is an objectively stupid take.

This makes me hate cryptocurrency more and make me support candidates that want feel the same, that we should be prosecuting cryptocurrency fraud. How is that making it more friendly?

Just like being bank-friendly means allowing criminality in bank management. And being transportation-friendly means allowing people to drive drunk!

in this particular case maybe. but i don't think he's pardoning only crypto people. as long as criminals can offer sth useful to him, they will get above the law.

> ...it’s a tool for him and his cronies to make dodgy money?

It's a vehicle to sell "access". The greed is only half of it.

The worst part is that they're selling access to foreign interests who pay them off. These people can't exactly show up with bags of gold to bribe King Sh*t Gibbon (yet), crypto is the next best thing.

It's industry agnostic. The Trevor Milton pardon wasn't because he loves gravity powered vehicles.
