It is often the case that the victims of scammers were up to no good themselves, and allowed greed to cloud their judgement. People sign up for schemes that are flagrantly pyramid schemes, knowing it's a pyramid scheme, because they think they'll be able to get in and get out before the pyramid collapses. This kind of behavior is the norm in the crypto currency scene.
8% APR from a crypto company was obviously a pyramid scheme. Anybody who put their money into FTX was either unbelievably stupid, or knew they were playing with fire and hoped they wouldn't be the ones to get burnt.
If somehow all the money has been utterly destroyed so nobody involved gets any of it, that would probably be the best outcome. If the cryptobro investors get their money back, they're just going to use it in other scams to hurt more people.
