many people gave donations to the bitcoin foundation, perhaps this move by govt is just an idea theyve come up with to "tax" those naughty bitcoin users ...

No, MPEx does not recognize any relation between Bitcoin and this so called "foundation".

They don't fight "us". They fight a despicable scam, in this case.

It's just some idiot government critter thinking the foundation is something like "Bitcoin Corporation".
It would be fun watching the foundation be disbanded anyway.
