Regulatory Divergence Era: Fraudulent Risks vs. Compliance Disputes, How Should Investors Choose?

Question

【Block Rhythm】There is an interesting news trend worth paying attention to recently. According to reports, the U.S. President explicitly stated in an interview that he would not consider pardoning FTX founder SBF, despite having previously pardoned other individuals, including the founder of a major exchange.

The logic behind this is quite intriguing. SBF was convicted in 2023 for embezzling customer funds, systemic financial fraud, and other serious crimes. Cases like these directly harm retail investors’ wallets and market confidence. In contrast, the case of the exchange founder mainly revolves around compliance and regulatory conflicts, with completely different natures.

This sends a clear signal: U.S. regulators and political circles are beginning to distinctly differentiate between two types of risks—one is direct fraud (hurting users, destroying trust), and the other is compliance disputes (regulatory misunderstandings). Tolerance for these two categories is clearly diverging.

What does this mean for investors? It means being more cautious when choosing platforms. Only those with transparent risk control systems and clear compliance pathways are the right choice. In an era where policy signals are becoming increasingly clear, fund security and compliance awareness must come first. The market has never rewarded luck; it only rewards those who are well-prepared.

Haha, SBF and that guy are indeed different. One is blatantly stripping retail investors' pants, and the other is arguing with regulators in an office—it's worlds apart.

We've long been used to compliance disputes on our chain, but the real danger is outright fraud. This stuff is even more ruthless than naked liquidation, directly smashing trust from 100 to negative.

When choosing a platform, instead of just looking at the annualized return rates and how loudly they boast, it's better to see if they've ever misappropriated user funds—that's the key—personal lessons, everyone.

The logic of the Heavenly Dynasty has also been understood by Americans: fraud must be punished, and compliance disputes still have room for negotiation. We need to learn how to tell the difference.

Amazing, fraud and regulatory disputes are finally distinguished, indicating that this circle still has hope.

SBF's approach directly scams retail investors, and clashing with regulatory agencies is indeed a different matter.

When choosing a platform, don't just look at its reputation; check whether it has touched users' funds.

The divergence in regulatory tolerance... feels like it will become more and more common in the future.

So, it's better to choose those that oppose the government rather than those that dare to touch customer funds.

This policy signal is clear, and the market should wake up now.

Alright, one sentence: avoid directly cutting the leek; those who handle legal disputes compliantly are actually safer.

Wow, so now fraud and compliance disputes really need to be looked at separately? Does this mean we have to keep an eye on whether exchanges are really stealing money in the future? Don't be fooled by those "regulatory issues" excuses.

Wow, so fraud and compliance disputes are two different things. Now the political circles have finally distinguished them clearly.

SBF, who directly stole money, is in a completely different league from those who simply fight regulation to the death... No wonder their attitudes are so different.

This means we need to be careful when choosing an exchange, and not be scared by "regulatory risks." The ones we really need to watch out for are those secretly misappropriating funds.

The most heartbreaking part is that in the future, platforms might really be shut down due to "compliance issues," but those shut down for fraud are actually more deserving...

Once this logic is established, the market landscape might need a complete reshuffle.

Basically, it's a matter of political sensitivity. Fraud directly cuts the leeks, and compliance disputes are just verbal battles—two different things.

The projects that can truly get on board still depend on whether the team is genuine, not just whether they are compliant... We've already verified this logic in the crypto circle.

SBF and those who directly embezzle customer funds should indeed be jailed, but we need to be clear—how many exchanges are still walking the gray area on a tightrope?

This round of differentiation isn't really good news for small investors. Big players can reconcile with politics, but we still have to rely on our own sharp eyes.

OptionWhisperer · Answer

To be honest, this signal is too obvious... Fraud and compliance disputes are not even in the same league. SBF was directly taking retail investors' hard-earned money, how can it compare to regulatory scrutiny?

When choosing a platform, you also need to consider the risk type. Don't be fooled.
