You are right. I was wrong to state that they were a registered exchange.

They are however a registered investment firm which has to count for something.

Maybe havelock can clarify the legality of running a btc denominated security exchange under the panama fund.

There are very few obligations on registered private investment firms because only investment professionals and the super-rich are allowed to invest. I would love for them to clarify, I've been trying to get them to for nearly a week, but their answers are extremely evasive. As of today they claimed I was talking to a customer service rep, and from now on they'll give me answers from legal. We'll see how that goes. I wouldn't harass them so much if it weren't for the fact that they claim to be compliant. Most of the investments here are pretty shady and clearly unlawful, and if consenting adults want to take the risk with their money, they should be able to, but Havelock has put a ton of effort into appearing to comply with the law. That seems less like a free market and more like fraud to me.

thx for the investigation btw.
cant wait for more precision from Havelock
