I wouldn't say they are asking for it, but in a way they really are. If you use an exchange that doesn't comply with local laws, and at the same time they are doing everything they can to operate under the radar, people should be expecting this to happen. People play a dangerous Russian roulette sort of game with their money. It's too late to cry now.
With how regulations are forcing the more reputable exchanges to comply with KYC/AML requirements, most of the regular users flow into exchanges such as Yobit to still enjoy some form of freedom over there. That is the exact reason I expect things to only become worse, because the demand for these exchanges is only going to peak. Where one shuts down, two or three pop up trying to full up that gap.
