Kind of what I figured and why so many of them seem to act with such impunity.

Again my question is about what kind of company FTX was and did they have the same fiduciary responsibility as a bank or brokerage. They were incorporated in the Bahamas and not federally insured as they claimed.

Madoff's fraud was pretty straightforward. He sent shareholders forms saying "this is how much money we are holding for you" and really there was no money. I don't know what FTX did but it sounds more complicated. Was FTX even the same kind of financial entity?

Do normal FEC laws apply to crypto and NFTs? Have they really caught up to all the nonsense? I'm not sure they ever caught up (or could catch up to) to regulating CDOs.
How do you regulate a service that trades in stuff like shares of bored ape pictures?

I'm having trouble believing he's going to face any real punishment. I suppose I thought the same about Elizabeth Holmes, but this feels like a more nebulous kind of fraud.

No, in fact there are lots of lawyers that give advice there. If you aren't a lawyer you have to indicate as much in your comment. "Get a lawyer" is common advice but they tell you precautions to take in the short term. E.g. call the police each time X happens.

I think this post is a straw man for people to complain about liberals.
