Who in the swamp was just recently sentenced to two months for, I guess, lying to Congress (or something similar to that)?
Rick Gates was only sentenced to 45 days.

Saturday morning - time for kids cartoons and ... a (ramen-free) Twitter thread on tokens and securities law! Today’s starting point: this excellent article (decryptmedia.com/6142/will-cons…) by Guillermo Jimenez in Decrypt.
