From an article on Gizmodo: “Curiously, the unsealed plea agreement notes that if Ellison is not a citizen of the U.S. she may need to be deported after serving any sentence. It’s believed Ellison was born in the U.S., but CoinDesk speculates she may have given up her American citizenship in order to avoid paying taxes, something cryptocurrency traders who move overseas sometimes do.”

Ellison and Wang pleading guilty will almost certainly mean shorter sentences for them, but shorter is relative since they're looking at 110 and 80 years respectively. I would wager they get at least 10 and possibly pushing 20 years, and it's federal (I think?) they'll do every day of it 'cause there's no parole. I hope that a year or so in a Bahamas mansion in a drug-fueled sex party was worth it.

Lol if I had stolen that much of random people's money I don't think I'd want to be in an unsecured location, unable to leave, that everybody knows. Then again everyone who loses their life savings in crypto tends to just go "aw shucks."

there are ways to get paid the, hundreds of millions you hope for from a business venture that don’t involve fraud even if it’s a terrible product /idea that’s going to fail like just follow what rules there are and keep proper records and put in writing your 8 figure salary and bonus and then when crypto collapses after a few years you say “gave it a good shot” and wash your hands of it legally like “this proved not to be profitable oh darn I’ll take my golden parachute now” vs whatever is about to happen to this bunch

The problem is, you're approaching this problem from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't believe that crypto is a new paradigm. Just so utterly ahead of its time that no accountant, lawyer, or judge could hope to make sense of. VV- $100M pitch, easy. nomad2020 fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Dec 22, 2022 |

Crypto is a secure investment, not a security, that generates value based on technological prwrerewjr and ite aurn but it doesn't have the limitations that other earinsefjgkfmdn do, and perhaps most importantly it allows you toa tsdh and new investores radf and old investors sgsre gser.
