If you were one of the big 3 then you pretty much get to decide what laws / fines apply and what don't. This was often used to the advantage of the British governments to claim that they were being forced into doing something that

These are again examples without context. e.g. on Hobson's book. This was a book that was widely referenced. Certainly referencing it didn't mean endorsement of Hobson's antisemitism ( a few lines in that book).. like prais

there's no regulation, auditing or government backed guarantees / insurance on the exchanges. so what happens when there is a run on an exchange, and it turns out that it does not hold the assets that it has on its books?

The crypto exchanges can sell more bitcoin than they have. Nobody is auditing them, and unless they collapse then there is not going to be an audit of what they hold. And with bitcoin being so impractical, there are is always going to be v
