      Right? Its like saying Jeffrey Skilling went to jail because of stocks. Bitcoin is just a system doing what it was designed to do. Criminals gonna crime regardless of the medium.

      Yeah, that’s like saying a murderer is there because gun.

      No, they’re there because of what they used it for.

          As far as I know, the FTX token wasn’t even the main problem. He did all kinds of shady stuff, mishandling customer funds, illegal business loans, etc.
