A busybody looks through the SEC’s legal complaint against the world’s largest crypto exchange to find the funniest quotes. In real time, no less.
So the SEC is suing Binance, and let me tell you: I love a dang legal document. Please join me on this stupid journey as I live blog my favorite direct quotes from the complaint. The best thing about any legal case, from my perspective, is the hot goss. I grew up in a small town where gossip was a contact sport, and I have discovered that government lawyers get much better, juicier gossip than I do because they have more extensive discovery methods.
The quotes last time were great. As I wrote then: > Now to be clear, I don’t think Binance is the only entity ever to decide that skirting US law to acquire more customers — after all, US pharma companies have been making billion-dollar settlements over that exact same “biz decision.” But I do think explicitly writing that you are deliberately doing that is a real clown move.
