> I find it unlikely an ICO conviction would help anyone electorally. Only tiny proportion of voters would even understand what happened. It's not like high profile corruption or murder or something everyone gets.

It'd be so easy to spin ICOs as a matter of fraud that's taking advantage of uninformed investors, a Ponzi scheme, or any of the other buzzwords that historically work pretty well in convincing voters of criminal financial activity.

Whether or not you actually view ICOs as any of these things is incidental to whether or not an AG with career ambitions would be able use that rhetoric to gain votes.
