41 months? Damn, this time they're really serious. We can't slack off on compliance anymore.

ngl, montoya's case is just mile 20 of the broader regulatory marathon we're all running through. compliance isn't optional anymore, it's the pace setter. the ecosystem needs this friction to mature—painful but necessary if we want institutional flows to keep flowing.

ngl montoya getting hit with 41 months is exactly the accountability we need... but let's be real, how many other frontrunners are still operating in the dark forest rn? one guy goes down and suddenly compliance matters? the system's still rigged.

Another one taken down, and this time the fine is pretty steep... More than $1.3 million just gone like that.

This sentence is a bit harsh... 41 months at the minimum, plus over 1.1 million in compensation. Compliance is really not something to mess with.
