The bitcoin doesn't belong to the exchange any more than the E-gold belonged to E-gold. It belongs to the users, many if no most of whom won't or can't prove where their bitcoin came from. So all that has happened here is the government has stolen their bitcoin.
Anyway, I'd love to hear more about how cryptos that are literally bitcoin code with a name change and different algo are less decentralized than bitcoin.
