Regulators aren't stupid.

There will be a hotline or process for reporting your having been dusted. You call, let them know, they confirm, they give you special dispensation to move the tainted funds to a burn address most likely. They don't care the ultimate location in which the funds get locked down, only that they do.

That Ethereum allows for disting won't hamper things the least bit. However a lot of customer service is probably going to have to be accommodated, so if you do get dusted, I sure hope that wasn't your only financial lifeline, because it may take a while to work through.

Hotline you describe seems like pure speculation I find unlikely but I have no idea how the law works but few questions naturally come to mind. Customer of which service? Provided by who? Agreed upon using what contract? Also having to burn your entire pile of cash because of one spec of dust is really funny.
