#fixedfloat — Public Fediverse posts

i found some court filings that detail one man's attempt to use the courts to force #Tether and other #cryptocurrency companies to give him back $3 million that was stolen from him.

spoiler: it didn't go well. the crypto companies used their standard defense of "#blockchain is open source so not our problem lol".

not only did he have to chase the crypto companies through multiple jurisdictions (#singapore, british virgin islands, etc), in the end i don't think he got any of his money back from the (probably) #Russian criminals who stole it.
