I'm interested to see if the US is able to do anything to Bitfinex now as a litmus test to see how wide their reach is in 2018. As far as I know they have zero US presence, and don't offer services to US customers.

BTC-e went down hard for example. But they had some much more obvious links with criminal enterprise.

Although even if it is possible to stay outside of the reach of the US, losing access to the international banking system is quite the handicap for any business.
