Kinda misleading or poorly written title. He was not convicted of falling for a crypto scam. He was convicted of embezzling funds from the bank, which he did while pumping them into a dumb crypto scam. It would have been illegal even if the crypto thing was NOT a scam (which is rare, I know).
that comment had to hurt the crypto community hard
The people who still don't know have built up a level of ignorance to miss any kind of message like that.
