He will get away clean.

IANAL. What's his defense?

He is already setting up for the "it wasnt me" defence, along with the associated "I am a victim too". Eventually it will be pointed out that they were not actually real banks or brokerages, just crypto ones, and the "its not actually illegal" defence will kick in.

There's no need to talk about any defence strategy if there are no specific accusations. And by specific I mean specific: what is the accusation?

(Just to be clear, I am not on his side. I'm just pedantic.)

Crypto investors should not hold their funds in custodial wallets(i.e centralised exchanges). Sam did a great service to the crypto world.

As far as I'm concerned they've got what they deserved. Hopefully Binance'll show them the empty bag as well and finnally the myth of centralised crypto is busted.
