I blame it on Snowden.  He sensitized the establishment such that now it overreacts.  Let's say a govt agency known for snooping asks _that_ miner manufacturing company (won't be named) to let the agency copy all emails and orders from customers because of a potential terrorist threat, the use of BTC to finance terrorism.  They agree and feel now they can rest assured they'll be smiled upon in any lawsuit because behind the scenes it will be known they help the good guys.  Not good as their ethics are questionable.  They see competition (KnC) is going to kicktheirass.  Meeting at a European Bitcoin Conference, a spokesman for _that_ miner manufacturing company, gets the ear of KnC reps and hints what they're doing.  Since Sweden works agreeably with that US agency on many matters, KnC takes it as a hint they should follow suit to assist the good guys.  But, delays have nothing to do with helping the good guys.  Delays are the stock in trade of _that_ questionable US miner manufacturing company and leads KnC people astray.  The motive is greed and to cause an impediment to KnC success.
