Right, but for the courts the question is, did they intend to violate the 4th or did they just screw up? Intent matters - in this case, whether they intended an unwarranted seizure of the server racks or if they just screwed up. Because the

Do they? It's by far the largest BTC exchange - by a factor of ~50 or so. If you want to exchange more than a couple hundred BTC, they're the only game in town right now.
