Being uninformed does not mean one deserves crimes committed against them. The fault lies with those doing the stealing, not the victims of theft.
It’s like a con artist taking advantage of folks by convincing them to do a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s hard to not consider everyone as shitty in the scenario.
Very few people thought they were legitimately doing something that created actual value, just getting on the train to getting rich without having to do anything.
