Here's a sample letter:
Dear government I'm trying to subvert, I complain about the instability of your useful, fiat currency, so I entered into a get rich quick scheme with no intention of reporting gains on my taxes. This obvious scam fell apart. Please punish them with the government system I don't believe in.
Are we blaming victims now? What’s next? It was her fault for wearing those clothes?
I think comparing getting scammed by get rich quick schemes to that is a morally reprehensible comparison.
Gravity in both situations may not be comparable but victim blaming is always reprehensible.
