Japan Wants Whale Meat -- The Crypto Con --



 Japan announced Wednesday that it is withdrawing from the International Whaling Commission and will resume commercial whale hunting next year, sparking swift condemnation from other governments and conservation groups.

Lusting for blubber can lead
to selfish and arrogant greed.
When whales are all gone
they'll go after prawn;
with gluttony their only creed.

The SEC and state regulators have brought more than 90 crypto cases over the past two years, as bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies swung from highs to recent lows. So far, the regulators have only managed to claw back about $36 million for duped investors, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal.

With people determined to throw
away all their personal dough,
the cryptocoin fraud
is sent by some god
who likes to see all fools brought low.
