I don't expect him to be held solely responsible now that the case against the project itself has been dropped. Prosecutors will seek to charge him with facilitating money laundering and may even attempt to prove his involvement in financing terrorist activities, but I believe it will not be difficult for his lawyer team to drop those charges based on the dismissal of the main case and the fact that no transfer related to suspicious activities can be proven. Ultimately, they will sentence him to pay a fine and pledge not to engage in similar practices. The service code is automated and cannot be stopped or modified, so any sentences against Roman are meaningless.

When everyone trusts you, the likelihood of a collapse greatly diminishes. Bitcoin is still vulnerable to FUD and investor speculation in the market, but that doesn't determine its true value. Bitcoin's use cases makes it valuable because it has real uses, something some governments have recently realized and added to their reserves. This contrasts with the majority of cryptocurrencies on the market, which are little more than trading instruments that derive their value solely from trading and have no other useful function.

I've never been a victim, but I remember this tactic being commun on Facebook, where victims could easily be convinced it was a real profile based on the information and activity. The hacker would promise profit through investment advice, or the account might belong to a girl with sexually suggestive photos. Naive people would believe them and click on malicious links without even checking the simplest methods, installing programs or downloading files they didn't know about. On Telegram, the situation becomes more suspicious because most of the accounts are fake profiles. However, I expect many would believe them, given Telegram's popularity.

This is the most prominent problem faced by over-enthousiasmic investors. I know someone who closed his grocery store, which was generating good daily returns, sold his remaining stock, and invested the entire amount in Doge coin, following the hype sparked by Elon Musk's tweets about the meme token Doge. What happened next was that he bought at a price considered high compared to the pre-wave price and was forced to sell at a huge loss, preventing him from even reopening his store. He wasn't directly influenced by Musk's tweets, but rather by his acquaintances, who repeatedly told him they were making significant returns from investing in cryptocurrencies, citing the success of Dodge's investment without mentioning the risk.
