I rumor I heard was that many if not all of the disproportionally large number of indictments are actually trumped up charges of money laundering against otherwise ordinary people who happened to hit the jackpot in bitcoin investing and were selling off some of their bitcoin for a profit. The catch allegedly is that one does not always know who the buyer is (so I was told).
Don’t usually know who the buyer is with stocks either.
Man I’ve been losing in Crypto I guess I am safe...
