Looking for some info on this scenario. We all know that the US and China and some other countries are often prohibited from investing in ICO's. My question is regarding a scenario where you purchase tokens from an ICO during a time when your country is NOT on the prohibited list, you receive the tokens, and then shortly afterwards are contacted by the ICO company notifying you that your country is on the prohibited list. You passed KYC and this company disbursed you tokens. They want the tokens to be sent back for a refund. You're thinking that they are trying to cover their asses legally as it is illegal to have sold you these tokens. I'm just curious whether anyone could provide any insight into this situation. It's strange because you already HAVE the tokens, and they have accepted your money in exchange for them. They processed this transaction. Could they force you to return these? I've never been on the other side of this transaction (trying to run a company and avoiding legal trouble) and hoping for some context.

Are they going to issue the refund regardless of whether the tokens are sent back to protect themselves?
Who has leverage in this situation? (ICO vs. participant)


All input is welcome!
