I'm proud of France in this situation. In my country, even people who launder lots of fiat don't get sentenced to anything usually (because of high levels of corruption), let alone a crypto one! I'm glad that scam of any sort is taken seriously. However, I do share the concerns of others that Bitcoin fraud should be treated the same as fiat fraud and the type of money has nothing to do with the crimes committed and shouldn't lead to some reputation issues of the currency. It's the crime that is bad, not the type of money used to commit it.
