Bitwise Industries stole our 401k money after they took it out of our paychecks. And two last paychecks. The CEOs are still not behind bars. And we never got our money back.The 401k money is gone but one of the CEOs got a new Tesla.

Sure they’ll keep doing it. It saves more money than it cost in fines. They just use your stolen wages to pay the fines.
