Caroline Ellison was officially released today. The FTX saga from collapse to now has just passed over two years.

There is an old saying that the true way of the world is vicissitudes. This case has validated many things. No matter how smart you are or how beautifully you tell stories, once you treat users' trust as an ATM, there is only one outcome—legal sanctions, disgrace, compensation, and imprisonment.

This serves as a warning to the entire industry. Every project team and participant should understand one principle: users' assets must not be touched, not a single penny. This is not just a moral constraint; it is a legal bottom line. Embezzlement is a crime, and debts must be repaid sooner or later.

Looking at the development over these past two years, those projects that follow the rules and prioritize security are doing well, while those playing with fire have all fallen in the end. The choice is actually very clear.

Caroline is out, and this time she really can't perform anymore. The master storyteller facing the wall of law, the floor price directly drops to zero, with no secondary market to save the scene. The supply and demand curve tells us that once trust collapses, it's irreversible, colder than the NFT winter. This is the cruelest aesthetic of web3—code doesn't lie, and ledgers never do. Honestly, for those project teams still thinking about misappropriating user assets, just treat this case as a candlestick chart? The outcome is clearly written. Over two years, enough for rule-abiding people to eat well, and for those playing with fire to get in. In Schrödinger's bull market, no one can gamble on such things. Living to see the day she is released from prison, in a sense, completes the narrative loop. But the lesson? It should have been engraved in our minds since the day SBF happened.

Caroline has been released from prison, and the FTX incident has truly become history. Speaking of which, how long can this scam last in the crypto world? I guess there are still people repeating this story...

Really? Over two years now, and it feels like the story of FTX will never end... But the news of Alisson's release really served as a wake-up call for the entire community. Speaking of which, these days, projects that still dare to manipulate user assets must be quite capable. Just look at SBF's downfall—who would dare to follow that example? Those who follow the rules are doing well, while those playing with fire are all collapsing. The logic is actually quite simple... some people just have to hit the wall.

It's better to know early not to touch users' funds. Isn't that common sense? The FTX saga clearly shows one thing: nothing is more ruthless than the law. Two years and this is the ending. Some projects are still going on now. Just wait and see. Those honest projects have already laughed their way to the end, right? No matter how good the story is, it's useless. If you can't protect your wallet, it's game over. The true way of the world is vicissitudes. This phrase is perfect here. Rules are rules; there is no gray area. This case has served as a legal lesson for the entire community. Wake up, everyone. Touch users' assets? You're just digging your own grave. In plain words, greed is never satisfied; it's like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Wow, this is what true "reset" looks like... over two years, feels like it just happened yesterday. These days, if you really want to survive in the crypto world, you have to play it straight. All the tricks will eventually catch up with you.
