Username related, but one of the thoughts you see expressed frequently by crypto scammers is that the Trump SEC simply isn't punishing proven scams so there's no longer a risk to doing it and if you don't, someone else will.

So we've got a culture of gambling that starts with lootboxes in children's games and ends with investment scams hinged on betting that you can buy low and sell before the rug gets pulled or that you can leverage insider information on "prediction markets" and now everyone's clutching pearls and pretending they don't see the end of the gilded age approaching at maximum velocity.
