If this is the case, then creditors are expected to receive a 100% refund of their lost coins, the article states that ftx are going to make ~ 16.3 billion from the sale of their assets, meanwhile creditors are owed ~ 11 billion. They have not stated when refund would begin, but this must be good news for ftx's creditors, yes?

It is a bit hypocritical that confiscated "dirty" coins suddenly become "clean" after they come into the ownership of the FEDs. In their fight against money laundering, they are the biggest coin cleaners, while there is no one above them to sanction them.
Hypocritical is even an understatement :D :D.

They confiscate coins and call it 'dirty', but once they auction the coins off and collect the money for it, the coins now become 'clean' coins and centralized exchanges are no longer to confiscate or blacklist such coins. Anyway, we know they are just attacking BTC's fungibility and we do no believe in their nonsense about tainted coins.

Any type of service or product that makes everything I have said more difficult and consumes more time and resources will be declared illegal by the government, it's as simple as it seems.
The U.S government are yet to declare mixers and CoinJoins illegal, so i think their approach is not even to illegalize it, but to directly attack privacy options, arrest people who write and develop codes for privacy softwares, and then use custodial services like centralized exchanges to attack BTC's fungibility with the nonsense of tainted coins.

So if they do all these and devs are scared of writing codes for the purpose of privacy and people are scared of using privacy options so their coins won't be confiscated, then they have achived their goal without making it illegal.

pretty bad days for Bitcoin & privacy
 :(
Very bad days and it is sad to see it happen like this, the government is clearly winning the battle. Now developers know they risk being charged and could face jail time if they write any code or run a service that enhances privacy, so they are obviously not going to do that, using BTC privately would be gone soon.

In fact, some people might be able to do unexpected things like this, rich people providing assistance to poor relatives or relatives to guide them on how to make money through BTC still makes sense. So, actually I still believe that there are good rich people who at least provide a little guidance to others out of pity or maybe for other reasons.
Look, there is nothing wrong in trying to educate people about what BTC really is, you can share articles with them or invite them to join cryptocurrency forums. However, there is everything wrong in helping someone buy coins and store it for them in your own wallet, that is so risky and doing things that way does not help the newbie to learn.

Take note that BTC is not a get rich quick scheme, so you can't really 'guide' people to make money through it, it does not work like that.

Also, according to the latest news, there are negotiations with the SBF now to obtain another reduction in his prison term if he cooperates with the authorities in exposing the celebrities who promoted FTX.
No, it is a different case, sbf is going to spend 25 years in jail for certain, if he does not get a pardon sometime in the future. However, the case you refer to is between sbf and ftx investors, in which they have agreed to drop their civil case against sbf if he gives them information that will help them go after celebrities that promoted ftx, i.e. Tom Brady and Shaquille O'Neal.

These investors see better chances of making money from these celebrities, that is why they are ready to drop charges against sbf to go after them, if they get the info they want.

There is not always technical support, and it is much easier to lose access.  8)
People who use BTC need to know that they are the ones responsible for the safety of their funds and if they lose it, they have lost it for good, however losing your password does not mean you have lost your funds and you can recover your wallet with your seed phrase.

Take note that simply because an exchange can help their users recover their password does not mean it is a safe platform to store coins, not your keys, not your coins. If the exchange does not lose your money in fractional reserve 'scam', then they can be hacked or they will just confiscate your money anytime.

Given the fact that someone trusted me and would want to invest to me then I would definitely cater them and help them in order to make their money huge as well as teach them to grow their investment.
Have you made your own money huge or grown your own investment? It is obvious you do not understand a thing about BTC or crypto, how do you agree to store someone's coins and take up their risks for them. If someone makes such an offer to you, tell them to learn how to store their own coins and they should not buy BTC until they have learnt its basics.

As you know money drives everything, even the four months that Zhao will spend in prison will most likely be comfortable as he will have all the amenities since he has enough money to live a comfortable life in prison.
Sbf is a rich man and he comes from an influential family, but he got 25 years in prison, i know we can argue he should have got more, but if it was all about money then he should have got way less too.

I know the rich and influential can influence judgements in their favor, however, the reason why cz got 'only' four months has been stated in this topic already.

11
I wonder if Zhao had been a poor man who had no money, would the judges have sympathized with him? :'(
That is not the case here, a 'poor man' would not own a cryptocurrency exchange that will give him the opportunity to commit the financial crimes that CZ and Binance committed. CZ pleaded guilty, paid billions of $, cooperated with authorities and gave them all the info and data they need, and that is why the sentence was light, it has nothing to do with sympathy from the judges.

Crypto Wallets / Re: Wasabi wallet shutting down Coinjoin

Their privacy already has been questioned by the community since they started the partnership with the blockchain community,
Whose privacy? Are you talking about Wasabi partnering with a blockchain analysis company? If that is what you are saying, it no longer matters at this point, they have shut down their CoinJoin service, the government have taken down Samouria, and the bigger picture is two privacy solutions down and many more to go in the weeks and months ahead.

Wow, just right after Samouria was seized by the U.S and their founders arrested and charged for conspiracy to commit money landering, Wasabi are taking the 'careful' step and backing out from enhancing privacy for bitcoiners.

I know Wasabi f'd up when they started blacklisting certain utxo's from their CoinJoin, but it remains one of the service people use to stay anonymous and it is kind of sad that it is going down as well. The government is definitely going to win this 'fight', and there could be nothing left of privacy in a few years from now.

4 months because he cooperated fully with the authorities and paid billions in settlement, i don't think anyone who was interested and followed this case closely would be surprised by the sentencing, maybe he could have got a few months in addition, but that is that.

Who could be next in the list of crypto service owners to be arrested and prosecuted?

In the past, we used to hear about a hacking event every few months, but in recent years its frequency has increased rapidly.
These centralized exchanges store a lot of money in online wallets, and like you know, anything online is prone to attack and hacks. There are also rumors that some of the attacks could be inside jobs, i don't know how true that can be, but that can also be the reason why they get hacked frequently.

Crazy thing is if they don't get hacked, then they lose the money in fractional reserve 'scam' or just obvious misappropriation of funds, i.e. sbf and ftx.
