I woke up this week to dozens of comments on a video from a speaker at SaaS Connect 2017 (previously known as The Small Business Web Summit) to learn she was arrested and charged by the DOJ this week for laundering $4.5 billion in crypto. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-arrested-alleged-conspira...

Billion!

Since this is an allegation, we must presume innocence. However I still cannot imagine what planet would entrust 10 figures to her control. Witness her rap.

But I also realize reading this Twitter thread I do not understand the world of crypto at all.



It's worth noting that those 4.5 billions had a value of 75 millions or so when they were stolen. It's also worth noting the "heist" happened in 2016, so before that talk.
