but then it's Canada so he'ld probably just get probation "don't you ever do that again young mister, oh and you can keep that $8 million you made".
++ So true. I will say I am Canadian and know another Canadian who has been to court for a fairly serious fraud charge. He showed up hella late and completely bullshitted the judge, the judge 'believed' it and ended up giving him probation, no fines whatsoever. Then he bullshitted the probation officer missing half my appointments and still got released. And after a couple of years, it's off my record now.
Canada won't be so lax if they have the US pressuring them (along with possible other countries from around the world)... ETH purchases are not limited to Canada and once again placing in your terms and conditions that "you as the purchaser have to abide by the laws of your home country" doesn't make you exempt.
