Of course you can. The regulated exchanges would (best case) just automatically remove the 0.00000001 BTC from the receiving wallet, or (worst case) freeze out the entire wallet indefinitely, while they send it back on the next block.
The regulated exhcanges have multiple forms of identification too so the recipient is screwed even if they manage to move it all before that happens.
- RL_Quine 7y agoWhat if the payment is made to their wallet? Do they "freeze" their own wallet?
- three_seagrass 7y agoThe exchanges' wallet? In this hypothetical probably not, since the freeze is to prevent bad actors from siphoning the funds back out of the wallet, and the exchange isn't going to do that to itself.
