If they're still talking it over with their lawyers, that's not a good sign either. What lawyer is going to make as their final recommendation to their client, "keep doing what is considered illegal by the U.S. Government". More likely, they're going over details of how to extricate themselves.

Of course they're talking to their lawyers. But the lawyers aren't the ones who make the final call.

Whatever stars decides to do I am confident it will be the "right" decision and I am sure they are doing all they can to find a way to serve their US customers

The lawyers will tell management what the risks are. Management will decide whether the risks are worthwhile.
