Ehh, you really can't imagine any way that an AI system might escape human control and act autonomously?
while crypto_balance > 0:
generate_scam()
send_out_emails()
deposit_proceeds_into_crypto_wallet()
pay_cloud_bill()
spawn_new_instance()
And who is the owner of the crypto wallet in your example?
It has no owner. It's controlled by a self-replicating (or at least self-propagating) AI-based system.
Probably a LLC in Nevada owned by a corporation in Vanuatu or the Cook Islands, organized so that voting control is via a blockchain-managed asset.[1]

That's a lot of words to say "people".
