Should the Romans get in trouble anyway? Isn’t that quite a dangerous machine they built? And couldn’t they have tried to put in an off switch? To the extent that Russian nationals, Storm and Semenov, broke U.S. law by neglecting the appropriate know-your-customer (KYC) or anti-money laundering (AML) protections and FinCEN “money-transmitting business” registrations then, maybe, sure, there’s enough justification to bring them to trial.
