Worked in crypto and I got that vibe so left. Regret it. For every SBF there are hundreds who get away with it. Tons of talentless crypto millionaires still roaming free. Look at the Axie Infinite guys plundering a whole country. Token could collapse, but there’ll be no justice and they’re sitting on at least 8 figures individually

Lots of comments below criticising this post for "regretting not being a fraud" or some such. Be charitable... the sentence parses just fine as "I regret having worked in crypto".

The smart ones leave an exploit in their smart contracts, exploit it themselves, then blame North Korea

[webmaven]

This is known as a "bugdoor".

Unless you're in on the schema (and even then!) you'd be the first in line to be the fall guy if things went south

[SSLy]

scheme, schema is something to do with your RDBMS

[raverbashing]

Hah true. Even worse if they are in the schema by having a bool column named "blame X for this"

[hagbarth]

Wait. Do you regret leaving? Because the fraud works out for some?

[eddtries]

I think you misread that comment, or interpreted it in the worst possible way

[tetris11]

Im trying to understand a better interpretation to be honest

my understanding of this comment:

They worked in crypto, got the feeling they may have been working for crooks, so left and regret being part of it at all. They are upset that many scammers who made millions are still walking around and will face no justice.

vs what I think is a total misreading:

> Wait. Do you regret leaving? Because the fraud works out for some?

There are loads of people who successfully made millions and won't face justice, and they regret leaving before making similar money.

[hagbarth]

I might have. That’s why I’m asking for clarification.

[BaculumMeumEst]

i think meant "i regret working there"

[atoav]

So you regret not being successful at fraud. Would you put this into an application letter at your next job?

Perhaps don’t put reading comprehension on yours?
