The fact that (some) people were given (some) warning about what was coming and even those that weren't have been able to get their coins out leads me to believe this wasn't a con-job. Why go for the USD and the ACH route but not take the lowest hanging fruit of all?

The silence and the speculation that this is more than a simple bank issue does raise a few questions, but if all the USD was actually frozen because of a LEO investigation wouldn't they freeze the coins too?
