They might if it's really a scam, but don't let that give you any confidence. Pirate, BFL, Neo and bee, hashfast all had some trouble with the law, but it didn't stop everyone else from getting fucked over.
This is new stuff and the legal system moves slow. The law might protect you, but you'll be much better off by not giving your money away to scammers.
The problem with GAW or LTC Gear or other "clouds" vs e.g. Cryptsy is that you don't need to keep a lot of money at Cryptsy to be able to use their services unless you're daytrading or something. With a cloud you sink your whole investment upfront and hope to get it back one day. That's not to say that Cryptsy should be held to lower standards or anything, just that if it goes down an average user is almost guaranteed to lose more money at a cloud service as opposed to an exchange or a mining pool etc.
And yeah, law is not much help in any case. Although hashfast is still selling off assets and BFL could probably too, maybe something will come out of it?
