Ok but like this is barely a thing and it comes from people literally selling drugs and other illegal goods through this completely unregulated market.
And literally just to get the US regulators off their back they just dumped the still processing transactions and handed the money over to the US, as a not so subtle "please don't sue us"
All the early money was made and everyone got their piece of the pie even if it now screws over regular-ish people. Tiktok is risky business even if it made a lot of money.
