What isn't going to happen overnight, justice? A fairer world?
I don't think a fairer world is on its way, I wish it was but the powerful won't be held accountable because people simply don't have the power to hold them accountable. We simply don't live in a just world.
Holmes is probably going to prison. Idk what's going to happen with SBF, but to prosecute you need evidence and there's a process.
And yes he is not charged but he has seen a judge who has heard both sides and decided there was a strong enough case to hold him there( which is quite rare i might add and generally only happens for severe cases).
I am lucky enough to live in New York, so even when tempted, I couldn't partake in this charade without trying to find a bunch of shady loopholes.
But as for the others, I guess you just can't win.
Holmes will see real prison soon.
Do Kwan is on the lam. When he's caught, he will do time.
SBF will almost certainly do time. FTX only imploded this week.
There’s no one “international police” and each nation has to coordinate - and acts at its own cadence.
Also, privacy should be a human right.
If you disagree with the above, you might be a fascist.
Code for an Arduino that moves a robotic arm is legal. Using it to pull a trigger and kill someone isn't.
The police statement is https://www.fiod.nl/arrest-of-suspected-developer-of-tornado... - it seems to say he facilitated money laundering. Which could mean simply writing code or could mean doing more.

I suspect they're smart enough not to.
However, as a society a choice we made was to enable individuals to message secretly with each other over encrypted communications, even if there are significant and documented harms to society.
Tornado Cash did not rob from 1 million retail customers, while FTX did. I think your argument is far too simple.
Uh... what?!
You do know that if you break encryption for gov't you break it for the bad guys as well?...
You do know that there are all kinds of nations that will throw you in prison if you hold the "wrong" opinions, which those opinions become known when they are funneled through the gov't servers?...
Considering that Tornado Cash implemented OFAC compliance and they were still banned would suggest to me that this isn't a fair take. Tornado Cash had long since blacklisted known accounts from sanctioned organisations and tried to be overwhelmingly transparent about the fact that the project was focused on providing privacy for normal people and complying with regulations and sanctions to the best of their ability.
One of the major issues with the US in particular is that regulatory and enforcement agencies refuse to establish well defined guidelines that are compatible with digital ledger tech. You can have privacy preservation and regulatory compliance all at once via zero knowledge proofs (as an example solution) however regulatory agencies insist that organisations operate within a system that provides significantly weaker compliance guarantees while also eliminating any means for privacy. Tornado Cash tried to operate within that weaker system to the best of their ability and repeatedly reached out to officials in good faith to properly implement compliance. Despite that they were still sanctioned.
