FWIW, CZ is (and was viewed as) a good actor in the industry. He did a lot of good not only for crypto adoption but for access to better fiat currencies for people in countries with hyper-inflating collapsing system. comparing him to SBF (like many do) is absolutely not fair.
he fcked up on AML front for sure and he is going to be punished rightfully but he did just so much good for people that he will stay remembered is positive persona. hero for many.
Who did he con? Binance wasn't found to be a rug and don't think it will be. He let people move money around freely and didn't obey anti money laundering laws. So maybe his service benefited "bad guys" as deemed by the state.
So yes there is a difference between gambling away deposits and allowing someone to use your service without taking their name and social security number and reporting it to government authorities
