What concerns me a bit is that there are a lot of team members in Dusk focusing on the tech, but considering the uncertain and fast changing legal status of crypto assets, let alone STOs, they may need way more jurists, lawyers and lobbyists specialized in financial regulation.
you're right, even though I doubt jurists can say something usefull right now. It is such an unclear area. How many ICO projects claimed they had a legal opinion saying they weren't securities that are now shitting their pants. What's most important right now is official guidelines, laws etc
I would say its easier to outsource a lawyer then a good tech member who would be loyal to your company and your goal. For me its better their team focuses on this aspect and potentially outsource legal department.
