no it's not. that is just utter bullshit. US is not world police. unless they can prove US citizens were TARGETED specifically than maybeeeeeeeee and that's a maybe. US shareholders can be affected by anything in the world a sneeze and a fart as well doesn't mean that gives US the reach to other jurisdictions.
That's complete conjecture. Do you have any evidence to suggest the US wont be interested in a multimillion dollar scam when US citizens start complaining. You think they will do nothing? There are UK citizens extradicted to the US every year for similar frauds.
The US government being "interested" in something doesn't mean it can actually do anything. Just look at the MegaUpload case, for example. MegaUpload wasn't based in the U.S, didn't do business in the US and as a result the US government can't actually do anything about it.
If it was an outright fraud, then obviously they'll face serious legal issues wherever they reside. If it's not a fraud, and just a case of incompetence then the legal issues will be less serious. Their IPO may not have violated local securities regulations any more then kickstarter would have (or it may have, I'm not an expert on HK law - and neither is anyone else around here)

I'm pretty sure they have multiple BTCGuild accounts pointed to that address, well either they or some third party. If you do an auto pay, you get exactly that much each hour. If you get an auto-pay every hour then excess builds up. But that means you should only see large payments every once in a while as they flush the excess from one account.
On the other hand, if you have multiple accounts you can build up excess in both, and flush either at any time. One might not have an auto-pay at all.
It's not really all that relevant because they're clearly not mining enough to make their stock recover given their disastrous performance over the past week or so.
