Interesting if common USA citizens a happy with disservice provided by their govt.
You have been living in the totalitarian shit hole of Belarus, put up with the totalitarian regime which kills journalists and human right activists
Perhaps one might assume that operating in Belarus and selling illegal unregistered investment securities to non-qualified USA investors would be risk-free. Think again.

Belarus adopted the law on securities market
On 5 January 2015 the President of the Republic of Belarus signed the Law of the Republic of Belarus On securities market. The Law regulates relations concerning emission, circulation and redemption of securities and professional and exchange-trade activity on securities.
The Law was officially published in Russian on the National Legal Internet Portal of the Republic of Belarus on 10 January 2015, and its main provisions enter into force in six months after its official publication.
I think it is highly unethical to operate from behind the Iron Curtain selling investment "scams" to unwary n00bs in the USA. If one limited their ICO token pre-sales to qualified investors (i.e. in the USA that means $1 million liquid net worth and/or a signed statement attesting to their sophiscation), then I wouldn't think the ethics was corrupted.
I simply won't associate professionally with anyone doing that. And such people will remain forever stuck in the business of scamming, because of their past, they will never be accepted into the mainstream where ethics and minimum levels of sane law & order are preferred.
I made some major mistakes in my 30s. I would hope someone younger than me, who still has a chance to change course might think carefully about what I have written. Then again, culture is deeply engrained and probably not pliant.
