Why cowardly, what should they have done differently if the pressure from the USG is likely happening now?

Alternatives were to:

- wait around un-registered in the US market and likely incriminate themselves further

- start pursuing kyc and compliance, which would also mean they'd absolutely need to shut down asap until compliant

They made the only move they could as a custodial service imo. It's why nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw has never served US users from the start

For many parts of the world, 'Thanks Giving' isn't even on the calendar...

WoS are not US based, therefore it's somewhat unreasonable to expect them to be mindful of US public holidays...
