The comment you replied to answered your question. The transaction goes through, absolutely no additional regulation or control comes into play at the transaction level.
NOTE: I am not supporting this position, or opposing it. I’m just stating what the gp post said.

It really didn't, instead it weaseled out by putting up a strawman that pretends to put a loophole in a straight-forward and very clear way.
In fact, it's blatantly clear by itself the fact that no one proposed a single idea or suggestion about how to enforce that mysterious 10%. No explanation was given on the impact on customers, and how the sellers would be forced to not go beyond that 10%. Why is that? Is the idea undefendable?
Not really. This has zero to do with math. At all. We have a buyer and we have a seller, both the buyer and the seller wish to perform a transaction, but then we have a regulator which arbitrarily wants to force them not to execute said transaction because of reasons.
And my question is terribly simple: to those who want to force someone like me from buying what I like from a seller I chose but they arbitrarily reject, how exactly do they wish to force me from buying what I'd like from who I chose to buy from?
No math, no numbers. I'm asking a very simple question: what then?
