Also known as theft. Pesky regulations...

As more people use bitcoin, they can only react when things like this happen. Take that lesson and carry it with you.

Nothing to do with regulations, all to do with law enforcement. Theft is illegal.

It has everything to do with regulations - "theft is illegal" wasn't stopping bankers from simply running away with customers' deposits, which used to happen - only regulation did that.
