#4Interesting to see it's in new york - I wonder what role the big players in finance have had in lobbying for this. Nonetheless, this is great. I would bet every single crypto exchange has their hand deep in the honey pot so they deserve whatever an investigation turns up.

How will we know the difference? What will we do if indeed it's the latter?
