If I were to hazard a guess, it would be a culture of bugfixing and software updates post-launch. These headphones no doubt share a lot of code with Airpods. Code which has received numerous bugfixes throughout it's life. Coupled with their ability to actually push out firmware updates to their users without needing them to install a separate (buggy) app, it leads to the evolution of a very stable software platform over time.
I'm just speculating, but how much embedded code do you imagine Sony throws away and re-writes for every new headphone release versus how much is retained.
Regulations and criminal law are two different things.
If btc-e were part of a well-regulated financial system, they would have gone through a liquidation process and creditors would have been paid some % on the $ what they were owed.
This is what happened with BCCI when it was raided and shutdown for massive money laundering.
>Just a month later, BCCI's liquidators (Deloitte, PWC) pleaded guilty to all criminal charges pending against the bank in the United States (both those lodged by the federal government and by Morgenthau), clearing the way for BCCI's formal liquidation that fall. BCCI paid $10 million in fines and forfeited all $550 million of its American assets – at the time, the largest single criminal forfeiture ever obtained by federal prosecutors. The money was used to repay losses to First American and Independence and to make restitution to BCCI's depositors.
You lent that money to a shady organization. Once you lent it, it was no longer your property. You then became a creditor of that organization and your coins became their assets. The organizations assets were seized due to systemic criminal activity and they could no longer repay their debts to their creditors. Just like any other financial institution.
