...and he's already stating that he hasn't fled to Argentina, which he probably has.

He set his girlfriend up to take the fall.  He's going to skate.

C'mon man give him a break! It's not like he tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill or was selling cigarettes without tax stamps. Thoseare serious crimes that law enforcement should be focused on.

I don't know.  He submitted a finance report that explicitly had an "My embezzling fund" line item.  It's kinda hard to explain away officially admitting to taking money to go blow it on blackjack, hookers, and blow

The $32 billion never really existed. It's more like a few hundred million dollars of people buying Internet farts from their minimum wage jobs, combined with $31.5 billion of "my Pokémon card is worth $20,000 because I traded a Red Fuzzy Cabbage Patch doll worth $15,000 and a signed photograph of David Caruso."

Truer words were never spoken. Go look up how many people were successfully charged with poisoning the water in Flint. Now go see how long Madoff is serving. Theranos lady got convicted of stealing from rich people and went to jail for 11 years. If she were actually convicted of endangering thousands of regular peoples' lives instead, woulda been probation and we all know it.

They set him up to be the patsy.  The real players won't be exposed.

They set him up to knock him down and say "Good thing we cleaned up crypto and it's ok now, here's the federal reserve version, you're welcome".

The former crypto titan has the SEC, CFTC, SDNY and DOJ on his case

Maybe they'll throw him in alphabet jail.

Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison. You may want to consider actual facts before you spout off.
