IF this news isn't fake...
Iranians probably shouldn't keep their Bitcoin assets at an exchange that the US Government has jurisdiction over! The US government didn't walk into their house with a hammer and threaten their Trezor PIN out of them, these people were careless...and in a way...were victims of their own naivety.
Yeah exactly. This news smells a bit funny anyways. It seems like fear mongering to me. Like they want people to think that the US can snap up your coins at any given moment.
But it could be true if they were careless. Lots of people have no concept of security on the internet, or just don't think that they could get hit. You never know what an exchange is going to do with your coins, so it's better to just keep them somewhere you feel is safe.
