The CasCoin CEO seem to have the right idea about never giving public interviews. Wise

[@jimpollard9392]

Bennet's explication at about the 18 minute mark on how the government builds out its understanding of the ecosystem from the initial prosecutions is so very very interesting.

[@cryptotrapper1]

The comment made on 23:59 on people not being smart enough is very accurate on them not having the knowledge of how a Dex/Swap works

[@NavigatorBR]

About time the Cas Coin CEO show their face. Was beginning to suspect they were just a stock photo.

[@spantigre3190]

I actually read the Chickenshit Club because of Bennett. Glad I did that, it really helped me understand why corporate crime exists the way it does.

[@CryptoCriticPod]

Jesse did such a great job with that book

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Cas Coin CEO Cat-in-Chief

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

I don't get it: that door has been right there behind Bennett video after video after video -- and we haven't seen a cute puppy, kitten, or child come through it yet. How come Cas gets stuck with all the animal acts? C'mon guys, let's get with the program.

[@jimpollard9392]

Interesting to see if full compliance on Binance's part doesn't just completely invalidate their business model. Can they only operate by cutting all those corners?

[@stage6fan475]

Thanks for keeping up with all this. I had kind of lost track since the big SBF trial finished.

[@fatlip8315]

The BTC-E crypto heist case was unsealed, and it showed that the 650,000 missing Bitcoin were sold to Binance - and then immediately after this revelation - Binance and this guy got hamstringed

[@mENTALdRIFTER]

CasCoin CEO has a heck of a tortitude 😂

[@danielherrera1458]

You guys are rocking it lately.

[@elizabethwoodley4340]

I was on the fence about CasCoin until now, but after seeing the CEO I’m all in.

[@lug.5329]

This case proves that do small-time crimes, and it will send you to decades in jail, but if big crimes, you get a slap on the wrist.

[@jasoncrowell8863]

Trying to get your CEO to do an interview is like herding cats.

[@SamRocher]

Do you think a FOIA request could get us any of the government-obtained info from Binance? I'd love to see some numbers as to what was actually going on.

[@andrewlane4766]

CasCoin CEO has seen what happened to other crypto titans after they gave interviews!

[@yvelaine]

Do you mean the biggest Ponzi in the world ?

[@RonaldoLuizPedroso]

So silly of people that didn't invested in CasCoin😂😂

[@doodlebug1820]

I would prefer they take his money and give it to charities versus putting him in prison for a long time.

[@camconrad]

24:32 exactly

[@joeschmoe3665]

Appreciate you guys criticising crypto but my brain is aching as bitcoin nears all time high same with solana and ethereum what is happening?? Are we back at 2021 insanity is it Blackrock pouring money into this crap?? Do you guys have a take?

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Cas Coin to the moon!

[@gevdarg]

And Coinbase...

[@armchairpsychologist2423]

Is next.

[@Johnny_Utah]

16:40 alphabay grew to over 10x bigger than Silk Road so this is completely wrong

[@gbxmusicchannel3836]

Maybe they let the bubble grow and then pop it throw everyone in jail and roll CBDC out xD

[@roc7880]

the technology of blockchain will likely be useful for other purposes, the world of crypto likely will collapse. the same way Netscape helped the idea of cloud computing although it went bust.

[@yvelaine]

Wow you’ve been gone for weeks ….

[@meshybonehead7027]

americans should not call an other nationalities terrorists, least of all now

[@cmgzfiveonezero]

*Chris Farley!!* 😊

[@kvue8110]

How about you stop over pronouncing the word "CEEEERTAIN" 😂

[@TheBossEntrepreneur]

Guy in a life where you will live on average like 80 years….maybe 30-40 good years…spending 1 year in prison is NOT a slap in the wrist, remember that.

[@evidentlyfuckingnot]

He’s a fucking billionaire bud 😂 I swear y’all have no concept of relativity

[@MemeSavageReee]

You know the crypto ponzi show is officially over when the scammers at Tether get arrested

[@dollarbinvulture]

Wait. You think FTX defrauding investors is a BIGGER CRIME than CZ laundering money for TERRORISTS? Yikes...your influence is showing and it's kinda pro-terrorist...that's weird, right?

[@xicofaria]

They're a couple commies...
