It happens when the law is not clear and the law enforcement has to take a stand on it to enforce it.



The opinion only shows how little, read none what so ever, experience some people have in figuring out compliant business processes. Yet another rude awakening for the, let me be blunt, cluelessly naive and in some cases outright criminal tech crowd that seems to flok in huge numbers around crypto in general.

That attitude started aroind the time Uber got big. Maybe even with AirBnB. In a sense, crypto is exactly the tech eco system we deserve. Good that there is finally some enforcement of rules that apply tp basically everyone else.


There's lots of laws that aren't "clear", but people don't phone the police up and ask them what they're going to do. They talk to a lawyer and get advice.
