I will repeat the same thing, cos you fail to understand and keep on being offtopic
The TITLE of THREAD you STARTED on the OFFICIAL CARDANO FORUM is
The Empire Strikes back as the SEC starts shutting down exchanges
As Siddharth, pointed out - its about a SPECIFIC exchange! NOTHING about EXCHANGES as is YOUR TITLE, CREATED BY YOU
ps hope you get it know.
p.s.s.
It’s obvious you are a noob, that just found out about crypto cos this story is 5 years old
_“In 2013, hackers exploited a weakness in BitFunder’s programming code to falsely credit themselves with over 6,000 bitcoins.”
So, it was a HACK! So, the “The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a former bitcoin-denominated platform and its operator with operating an unregistered securities exchange and defrauding users of that exchange.” from your link is GOOD NEWS , but again, you are noob - you get it wrong all the times. I bet you bought ada at ATH, or when it was over 50 c 
- THE SEC did not “SHUT DOWN” the exchange it’s closed since 2013 after it stoped trading cos of the hack (frozen withdrawals of funds)
How about you get your facts straight and stop spreading fud! (and stop being aggressive)

I can see that you are emotionally tied to the outcome.
u’re spaming and being offtopic on your own stupid thread 
how is this related to anything i’ve posted on the subject? Can you comment on the topic? of the SEC and the Empire and the Exchanges being shut down?
POLONIEX, bittrex are both exchanges in the US that i am familiar with, as well as gdax(coinbase) who are trying hard to obey the law and influence the creation of new regulations that make sense in this new and confusing space.
If the Feds shut them down, i’d be worried.

saline09, Brother, just take your lumps and move along 
. Long ago I adopted a rule that if any portion of a critique against me was true I would thank the person for it and work on improving that aspect. Whatever portion of the critic was incorrect I would, after careful consideration, ignore. Rebutting the critique is not a profitable venture.
Oh, as an afterthought. The first person to resort to name calling loses the debate.

I’m not your brother. You don’t debate childlike behavior- you put the thought in a corner when they act out (it’s the kindest thing you can do otherwise the said behavior repeats - I would expect the same the otherway).
Oh, as an afterthought. How about you mind your own business?…Ada_Io and I had a communication snafu which I’m sure is temporary but we sure don’t need rando’s to step in and provide “fake familiarity” + “fake conflict resolution diagnosis” + “fake moral preening”…
Why don’t we all calm down again?
I would really appreciate this…

It’s hard to say what will happen with regulation. If they really wanted to put the hammer down they would classify ethereum as a security and shut it down at exchanges and throw the markets in turmoil. But since they aren’t doing that seems like implicit permission or at least tolerance for the time being.
Epicenter has a great podcast with a former SEC attorney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HumhFOrus1g
What I got from that is that the SEC is likely to go after obvious cases of fraud first and as part of building a wall of evidence they will of course classify those things as securities so they can punish fraudsters as heavily as possible.
The real question is if they will go after any cryptocurrency that was trying to do everything “correctly” with no blatant fraud but still charge them with securities law violation.
