The issue is that cryptocurrencies have no built in protections against pump and dump schemes....

What has any such protections?
I don't think that the apparent fraud of teether is simply pump and dump, it shares certain characteristics to a Ponzi scheme which is what I think the fraud resembled if indeed that's what happened.

As usual they don't want to let a good crisis go to waste. A dip and successive rounds of legal assaults is just a front to get a foot in the door for regulations like what they did to the tech industry in early 2000s. We should e free to do our P2P transactions without the Mafia dropping into take a cut

The issue I think is Fraud, it seems that it was perpetrated by those in positions of trust/power in these exchanges through the scheme of Teether, indicative by the lack of transparency over how the coin is pegged to the dollar or minted. It might serve as a springboard for actual regulation of these exchanges yet it will be completely futile to affect dex, let alone bitcoin itself.
