Courts knew absolutely nothing about BTC and let Voheeres run with a slap on the wrist fine while no one of the investors became whole.
Shrem served 15 months of his sentence which was for running an unlicensed money transmission business, which Ver did not.
Ver's involvment in these scemes is very well documented. By his own admission, Ver owned stake in Shrem's Bitinstant.com AND coinlab.com. There's no excuse for him not catching charges other that somebody else that somebody else took the fall. He was equally guilty, if not more. He's doing it all over again selling unlicensed securities right now on bitcoin.com (that's another thread on it's own but here's a little sneak peak):

Nearly nobody talks about that stuff but some of the now most prolific investors in the space made their fortune initially scamming the community.
Well god knows what else and how deep the rabithole goes.
What happened to all that Bitcoin Foundation moneyz?
Holy shit, from that alone we could name DOZENS of people that became millionaires by offering NOTHING back to the community.
To begin,
Brock Pierce with his initial scam, savegox? You got it...
