You don’t think “the US federal government will come after you if you conduct crime in USD and/or against Americans regardless of where you live/operate your business” is a real deterrent, as compared to “operate abroad and you can victimize Americans at will?”

What happens in reality is the US comes after me to pay to fly and feed these criminals, makes me pay for some prosecutor to get fat on steaks and braces on his kid, meanwhile I get basically fuck all for it other than to watch the next overseas crypto scammer take his place 5 minutes later.

I'm not saying you can't seek justice, i just want to be left out of it.

You pay taxes to the US but don’t benefit from the significant deterrent effect its law enforcement creates against scamming you?

How so?

What evidence do you have extradition of crypto scammers has moved the needle at all on scamming? I'm not seeing the benefit you speak of, a new one pops up 5 minutes later to replace the last.
