If a US or EU court finds participants of said node criminally or financially liable and the political will exists (which will happen when someone important enough gets screwed over by a bad contract) they may be deported, face criminal prosecution, be banned from transacting with US financial entities, etc.

Those things are not a small deal.

Lots of if’s and May’s there - and that’s true of a ton of things in crypto. It took nearly a decade before the SEC or IRS would even provide basic guidance on what the heck crypto even was in their eyes. Lots of deals gonna happen, lots of fortunes made and lost in that gap.
