 This guy @jack mallers

He knows their motives, their trade offs, and why they did it.

Just ask him. He’s got all the answers for everyone.

 The sad thing is that these MSB warnings from uncle sam are not new... Not by a longshot. We've been seeing them since 2015 at least from various govt agencies. Pure sword rattling. 

Why do the French always surrender so easily?

 I have to imagine all LSPs will be getting pressured like this. Any routing node operator seems targetable too. (Not FUDing but if non-custodying is no longer a defense, lots of stuff gets redefined)

 This should be an easy legal win, however. If Chevron gets struck down this is blatant executive legislation.
