What im considering is the possibility of Jihan Wu ending up in jail. How is it even legal that he can not only manipulate the price, but do it by allegedly lying to customers and using purchased hardware by other people by himself and delay those ASICs to their respective owners? the whole thing is becoming insane.

I guess you never heard of BFL. Bitcoin mining has a proud tradition of doing exactly as you just described.

Really? Price manipulations have been done since the dawn of stock exchanges. There's no paragraph for playing the market and there were other big companies that mined with sold hardware instead of sending it to customers and their owners aren't in jail and probably never will be. It's just crypto world being crypto world.

Exactly! Wall Street invented that, American capitalism showed us all the way and as far as I can recall, we've all been very happy to take the Kool-Aid. Yes, I think also that these guys are terrible people, but terrible people who make money in terrible ways don't go to jail. They get celebrated and have books written about them.

Couldn't agree more.  I'm hopeful he comes to his senses and starts cooperating with the community as a whole soon.
