Begging for regulation, like SBF? Officially regulated or not, as an exchange you can still insist on a) have one of the big 4 adivise you on whether you are a bank, a broker or whatever else exists in finance b) define internal controls and processes based on a) and have c) one of the other big 4 properly audit you against b).

SBF even admitted that his insistence on regulation was just a front.
