Changpeng Zhao pled guilty for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and not complying with anti-money laundering requirements.

That also happened to a lot of big banks over and over again.

Three days ago one of the biggest was found guilty for helping Sudan’s government commit genocide by providing banking services that violated American sanctions [0]. Sounds worst.

Binance is a casino for millennial and gen Z and like casinos is used by criminal to launder money.

Should Changpeng Zhao be pardoned? I don't know, I don't care he is a small fish.

Should BNP CEO serves prison time? probably.

Whataboutism. Has to be called out.

What about the whataboutism of whataboutism? I.e. meta-whataboutism

The use of whataboutism and the ‘calling out’ of whataboutisms are both mechanisms of narrative control.

Whataboutism is a rhetological fallacy. Making fallacies is bad. Pointing out fallacies (or as you put it, "narrative control") is good.

Doesn't make the double standards any less true.
