Him being Chinese also probably didn't help.
Heh, yeah, it's not PC to say these things these days, but it surely didn't help. Neither did it help he isn't exactly loved by the CCP, either, given him scurrying off from HK to Japan in Binance's infancy.
They will continue the money laundry and illegal acts simply because they have money. This is also the reason why I keep asking myself whether the law is for the poor alone as the rich due to the money they have and their status in society always find their way around it to either escape justice or be served a minimal one.
Age old question, and there are plenty of outliers with the small guy winning for once, but the law, as long as it's politicised (which it is), can only favour the status quo. Of course, we get upheavals where the letter of the law crumbles and the status quo is replaced in bloody fashion, but the cycle only renews then.
We're all trying to be part of that, at least I realise it =D
