Your funds with Tallinex are as safe as anywhere else - probably more so!
All client funds are held in segregated "off balance sheet" accounts at Swedbank - the largest and most conservative regional bank so, even if Tallinex did "go out of business" as you put it, the funds would be completely safe and untouched.
In addition, you'll find that the most prominent cases of clients losing their deposits were all related to large, famous US brokerages (Refco, PFGBest and MF Global) who were under supposedly extensive regulation and monitoring by the NFA, CFTC and SEC.
You can read about them here:

As you'll see from the links above, US "regulation" provides clients with none of the protection that they think it does and, in the case of US resident, does nothing more than restrict the facilities available to them.
In terms of the US "playing hardball with us"... Tallinex complies fully with all applicable laws of Estonia and, since Estonia is not a US overseas territory, the US has no recourse. Should the US government make a formal request to the Estonian government, and they decide to oblige by instructing Estonian brokers not to allow US residents, then that instruction will be complied with. Until such time though, US clients are welcome.
I hope that clears up the issue for you.
