This whole thing looks rather silly. Like, you either find a decent exchange, expect it to be legit and that includes cooperating with IRS and other parts of the government when needed. You know, like you expect responsible financial institutions to do. Or just find some maybe less legit ones at your own risk.
Coinbase can't be both legit and 'oh look we resist The Man'. Urgh.
