If you work in a supermarket and a thief comes and buys something, should the police close the market down and arrest the manager and staff because they allowed a criminal to buy his food there? They should not.
The problem with eXch is that it's a centralized service in an environment hostile to privacy, or at least to no-KYC exchange. If I were them, I'd simply comply with court orders (ignoring government requests), or at least restrict/review some transactions (flows above $50,000), or temporarily restrict the service when such events occur. While the above solutions aren't ideal, they're much better than losing eXch; we've lost a good service.
When we have something decentralized then we can do whatever we want.
