Are there laws in the US about such conflicts of interest or was is basically tradition until this point not to do shit like this?

Important note about this (though I don't know how much you earn): you can only exempt up to 120000 dollar equivalent per year, and you must still file your taxes every year with the American government even if you don't live there. Non-US bank accounts and investments also must be declared, even if you no longer live there.
I'm not American myself, but a colleague of mine is and she has mentioned having trouble with American agencies because some of these points (specifically the bank account point if I remember correctly).
Edit: corrections to my info in comment below.
Had a similar struggle with the German layout, but in the meantime I have moved to the "EURKey" layout. It is built in to many distros and available for Windows and Mac. It mimics a US layout while still having all the äüöß (and much more) I could ever need. Though I will say it's only really worth it if you're in IT or similar where you frequently need certain symbols.
Normally I associate such price swings with wild speculation and am genuinely surprised with this considering the generally more prevalent conservatism in European financial markets, but perhaps it's true that the (time of reading) 550% jump in value is all accurate pricing in of future contracts at this point.
I'm definitely excited to see.
