Surprise, surprise. Won't be long til we see CZ go the way of SBF

View on HN

Maybe he's slightly smarter than SBF and will self-retire to a non-extradition jurisdiction

If he’s already in China there is no risk of extradition for him.

he's canadian iirc (i think the richest one right now, actually)

To be rich means you actually have fungible assets you can trade for things.

I do not expect CZ could get anywhere near his reported $15 billion. I do not think he could get and keep more than one billion.

SBF didn’t that’s for sure.

I certainly would be more than happy with $1Bi, heck even with 1/100 of that I'd be happy

I was suggesting his net worth will probably be whatever you get to keep after bankruptcy. Not more than $1 billion doesn’t mean anything close to it.

And he’ll be in jail to boot.

I wonder if SBF provided them some evidence/hints. CZ was one of the reasons that accelerated FTX's demise.

Maybe not SBF specifically, because he seems to be too stupid to cut a deal, but the whole crypto space appears to be a den of thieves where secrets were poorly kept. I imagine that many players in his orbit knew at least generally what CZ and the other exchanges were up to.

Now that the feds seem to be giving a hoot about these scams, they shouldn't have much trouble flipping people and rolling up the chains to the bosses on the other exchanges too.
