My best guess is that you will be fine, but seeing as payouts are free, why not cash out every now and then until they have paid all the american players.
As you probably know they are an exchange so it is not like it is their own money that is at risk, it is the person on the other side of the bet you will be taking money from. Of course they have costs of their own but those should be fairly predictable and no guy is gonna come and hit them for a $500k parlay or anything like that.
We do not really know anything at all about the owners as they have chosen to remain anonymous. It is claimed that they are europeans and that they have plenty of experience. A few people questioned this because there are no traces of anyone working for Matchbook on sites like linkedin or whatever it was, saying that if they were experienced people then they most certainly would have been on or there be traces of them on that or similar sites.
I think they are also aiming to advertise more towards the asian market, and I may have read something about them thinking of moving to a better regulated territory. All of this is just forum rumours though.
