RE: An Australian Trader Had USD$430,000 of Crypto Confiscated by the United States Government On BTC-e: A Timely Reminder to Withdraw Your Funds From Exchanges, or Use the Openledger DEX.

This is New Zealand´s government fault, again, then. So NZ has no sovereignity... The episode about Kim dot Com was outrageous, and it´s becoming the norm! Let´s hope it´s just NZ that has no bowls. But why do these exchanges keep chosing NZ as their base, then? Hard to understand. I´m getting old, it must be.

Sort:  

It does not sound like the NZ government had any say in this seizure, and it is Greece that is extraditing Vinnik.

Well yes, not directly. But how come does NZ accept this outrageous stepping into their jurisdiction?

I don't think there has been any discussion. The USA just did what they wanted.

Yes. So sad. But no diplomatic complaints. Perhaps they do complain, and one does not know about it. But it looks like it is simply assumed that the law of the planet is the law of the one with the biggest stick. So sad.
