![Avi Eisenberg
Mango Markets exploiter Avraham “Avi” Eisenberg has filed his sentencing memo ahead of his April 10 sentencing, where he will face a maximum of twenty years in prison.7 A year ago, Eisenberg was convicted on fraud and market manipulation charges in connection to the $110 million exploit of the Mango Markets cryptocurrency platform [W3IGG, I6, 43, 55, 56, 67]. However, shortly before his conviction, the government filed an additional charge of possession of child pornography after finding evidence of such while examining Eisenberg’s devices in connection to the crypto theft. Eisenberg pleaded guilty almost immediately to the additional charge, and the cases were combined for sentencing purposes.](/proxy/post_attachment/475903/07ebd02358.png "Avi Eisenberg

He’s attempting a rather novel argument for leniency in his sentencing: there’s just so much crime in crypto that he forgot it wasn’t allowed.
@molly0xfff @isotopp this tactic is so old, that the romans had a legal principle against it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignorantia_juris_non_excusat
