you should look into btc-e, the russian exchange that was shut down by the united states government. not only was it a russian exchange, he was arrested in greece, neither of which are america, for those not keeping track at home.
i agree if the people of telegram want to never step foot on US soil and want to never step foot on the soil of a country that has extridition treaties with the united state, they can feel free to blatantly ignore united states law. good luck with that one. i doubt that will end well for you.
