Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise - I am not that sympathetic to the losses of the crypteau-riche but that doesn't mean I endorse fraudsters. Some of my amusement stems from the fact that a certain kind of crypto evangelist is into it because they hate government, taxes, and central banking, but suddenly wants state authorities to enforce their property rights.
Maybe some rugged John Galt type will bypass all the legal flim-flam and just go after the FTX executives personally. That would be a lot more cyberpunk than writing seething letters to the SEC about the predictable failure of another get-rich-quick scheme.

Is that not precisely the future the crypto hoodlums have espoused, indeed, the only one they will accept?
I've got no dog in this fight so I can just sit back and make popcorn. If they'd televise the hunt we might be onto something. "Code is law" would be a great tagline for a bounty-hunter show.
