I've been regulated by both the SEC and CFTC, I have undergone AML procedural training and consider myself fairly knowledgeable with regards to Reg-D regulation and hedge fund law (considering I've been involved in management of these types of entities). I can put you in contact with an attorney if you don't take my word for it.
Until they are regulated, they are not. It's that simple. You will know when they are regulated. There will be no ambiguity because guidelines will be issued. It's highly likely that one of these reg bodies will regulate it in the future......but that doesn't apply to today. Again, this is not legal advice, just opinion. I am not an attorney.
Alright, I'm finished with this topic. This is becoming a troll fest.
