Why cowardly, what should they have done differently if the pressure from the USG is likely happening now? Alternatives were to: - wait around un-registered in the US market and likely incriminate themselves further - start pursuing kyc and compliance, which would also mean they'd absolutely need to shut down asap until compliant They made the only move they could as a custodial service imo. It's why @Blink Wallet has never served US users from the start

They knew about this decision to pull for a time period and didnt give customers that knowledge. Its not a should they have just waited around situation.
Unless you're a gov't insider or a WoS employee you don't know anything about when they realized they needed to do something about US users and how long they "sat on" that info If it's a case of pressure from gov't, usually you're not allowed to tell your users, at risk of making things much worse for yourself if you do (assuming you've decided to comply)
