Apart from Webmoney (Russian) the other companies you have listed where either operating out of the US in some way or had incorporated their company in some tiny island or small country that was easy for the US to pressurise into closing them down.

Going forward I don't see the US being able to pressure or bully countries like Russia & China into closing down Bitcoin exchanges IF Russia & China are willing to let Bitcoin flourish.
