I agree to the extent they'll impose more regulations on the exchanges to impede buys/sells & transfers over IPs under sanction. But they know as well those roadblocks can be skirted.

However, in this age of complete totalitarian monitoring of all worldwide data flow, and our own intelligence agencies' demonstrations of the tools they can inject to spy on any & all they so choose, this only suggests to me that the government will use any "false flag" scenario such as this "Russian Election hack" as the means to expand their budget and staffing to wage full scale war on non-governmental approved financial transactions. The harder they make it, the harder it'll become for free-minded citizens of the world to use it.
