Seems a way for the USA govt to steal people's bitcoins and blame such stealing on the corruption of an exchange operator who was likely not engaged in all the bullshit accusations. 

I doubt that the exchange is even close to as profitable to pay a $110 million fine, so the only way for da gbrnmet to get the money is to confiscate customer funds... .. including some of the BTC (and cash) of yours truly.  those fucks, meaning da gobrnment.... when me gonna get me money back!!!!!!
