The problem is that in our current hellscape civilization, just the accusation destroys someone, and there is usually no consequence for the person who made the accusation. Look at the Duke Lacross people for instance. We have a society where someone can claim that they were sexually abused 30 years ago and destroy someone. Nobody ever asks "Uh, why didn't you say something 30 years ago?" because that would be "victim shaming."

The "justice" system is an utter disaster. In this case, they locked a guy up for 18 months, destroyed his life and reputation, and get to say "Oops!"

Oh, I can do you one worse. Back when Bitcoin was coming onto the scene (we're talking before someone bought a pizza with it) I was using spare cycles mining it. Of course, it went up and I sold it, thinking that this entire thing was hype and I could cash out. At some point I actually bought some when it was just a few hundred dollars and before the IRS got wise to it. It went up, so I sold it. Gods, I wish I could have cashed out at $125,000 or whatever it was fools are trading this for. I'd be set for life. But the thing is, Bitcoin is inherently worthless. The only reason it has any value is because people think it has value. But then again, is that any different from any other kind of currency? I do feel sorry for all those people putting their savings into Bitcoin because it's about as volatile as a fart in a hurricane.
