so, no surprise they went down.... operating unregulated money transfer in most cases is pretty much just a warning and $500 fine... there are some cases here and there, where government wanted to make an example out of them and/or the criminal did something else illegal like "immigration document fraud"... being from Middle East and sending $$ to there doesn't help either...
