Nah, this move is really brilliant. Things in the crypto world are just like that... once political overtones get involved, it becomes unpredictable.

Political interference in the judiciary—this tactic is annoying enough in traditional finance; does Web3 have to go through it all over again...

According to research, this case involves three aspects that require careful analysis: 1) the risk of politicization of judicial procedures; 2) the possibility of restoring the reputation of the crypto industry; 3) the effectiveness of the checks and balances mechanism. It cannot be simply praised or criticized for amnesty.
