   @dushman I'm not saying he's innocent, just that I notice a pattern. The *Bitcoin* people edited him to look like a pig, then a clown, and spread it around the internet. Why this guy? He's one of their own, not the enemy.

     @alex @dushman He delegitimized them. They’re trying to distance themselves from him for the sake of their own reputation.

     @robby @dushman Exactly. So they should really take a look at themselves.

     @alex @dushman “Them” being the Bitcoin community in my comment. You were asking why would they throw him under the bus. That is why.

     @robby @dushman Yes. I'm agreement with you. We have come to the root of the issue.

     @robby The exact point that you just said. The dude is scapegoated by the crypto community. I think he shouldn't be? If that's still a point of contention. It's not fair.

     @robby I don't understand how what he did is fraud, but what Silicon Valley Bank did isn't fraud.

     Why should the crypto community want to associate themselves with fraud?

     @alex @dushman He makes crypto look bad, fraudulent, untrustworthy. If you're a crypto booster that's enough for hate. If you're an inflation-boosting fiat laundering alpha returns-seeking System drone, he made your hot money payoff mechanism look bad. (And exposed the political donations laundering scheme). TPTB can't have their new money hotshots running around destabilizing their facade.
     
     What you are seeing is the equivalent of them letting Lehman Brothers go under, before stepping in to discipline the rest of Wall Street. Someone's gotta pay, hard, so the rest get the message.

     @alex Lying on balance sheets vs not lying on balance sheets. FTX lied. SVB made stupid choices.

     @robby Alright, I'm starting to see the point. I don't think it's acceptable to lie.

     @alex @robby FTX was faking a ton of trade activity and embezzling customer funds. This is obvious fraud.
     
     SVB was underwater $15B on securities. It's not fraud, it's just stupidity.
