41 months have passed since a certain tax authority pressured Puerto Rican regulators into placing a fully solvent crypto bank under receivership—reportedly as a publicity move tied to the J5 initiative. Among thousands of affected customers, only one case of successful fund recovery has been documented recently. The bank's solvency was never in question, yet regulatory action proceeded anyway. Critics argue this represents a troubling precedent where external pressure compromises fiduciary obligations to depositors. Meanwhile, the vast majority of clients remain unable to access their funds.

41 months? Isn't this just a blatant display of power, with solvent banks being forcibly pushed into receivership?

ngl if you look at the data, 41 months of frozen funds is basically just regulatory theater at this point... solvency never mattered, just needed the optics, right?

Ha, still quarreling after 41 months? This is what regulation looks like.
---
Banks with solvent status can be forcibly taken over, that's just absurd.
---
Wait, only one account has been restored? Just a few thousand people like this?
---
J5 is doing a face project, and the bottom-level users are footing the bill. Is this scheme new?
---
The most ironic thing is that their funds are fine, yet they are frozen like this.
---
Most clients haven't gotten their money back yet, and the topic has long faded away.
---
As soon as external pressure is applied, they compromise. What about the fiduciary duty? Just talk?
---
One successful case vs thousands of victims, how does this math add up?
---
Puerto Rico's move has offended how many crypto users?
---
Regulation has turned into a political show, and in the end, we are always the ones who suffer.

Oh my god, this operation is really outrageous... Just to gain attention, they forcibly brought a healthy bank into liquidation. These regulatory agencies really know how to play.

It's been 41 months and it's still like this, it's really outrageous. Regulatory agencies are ruining perfectly good banks for their own performance, this operation is truly remarkable.

This is ridiculous. Clearly, there is no problem with the funds, yet they have to take over by force? Just to gain attention? It took more than three years to recover one person's money...
