In the crypto space, we don't support the heavy punishment that affects exchanges and trading platforms, at same time we don't support any one that go against the rules of the government. Aside being a reputable trading platform, it is the law of every business to be registered under the neccesary body governed by the government.
I think Kucoin placed themselve in this position. The law is the law. I guess this charges was quit easy, due to the fact that it involves cryptocurrency.
