I guess my point is premature regulation in general. In this case and with Bitfinex, citizens are deprived of "pursuit of happiness...", for what? Protection of the individual from their own own mistakes? More likely, eventual taxation. Anyway, it's not the end of the world for personally. Just a hassle. And I do not have time to "take it up with Hawaii". Maybe some day.
