By the way, I think they said about an update by the end of this week( I think Friday is the end of week already, don't?). So anything new?
i guess you missed this. take a seat and grab some popcorn. from socialized losses to ICOs to vague reference to KYC, this update's got it all:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2075551.0Not sure why the US consider they have jurisdiction - maybe because some of the customers or wire transfers were from US? Or they traded $?
well in general, the US government does whatever it wants. whether that's raiding whoever it wants anywhere in the world and pocketing all their money, or invading other countries and installing dictators.
but yes, they served US customers. no IP block, no checkbox to confirm residency and of course no actual KYC. so that's the reasoning used by law enforcement. that's what the unlicensed MSB charge is all about.
