Being banned from transacting cryptocurrency seems overly harsh. Like how Samy Kamkar was banned from using the internet. You can't really live a normal life without internet access anymore.

It seems like it could become overly harsh.

Probably not in his lifetime.

All this is BS. He was doing the same scam many other projects (even MicroStrategy) is doing - praying on users FOMO - as long as there are new users, old ones will profit. The main reason Terra project have to be killed was that it was the only project providing non-USD stable coins, which was a direct attack on USD dominance. So they made an example of him to discourage other projects going in this direction (non-USD stable coins).
