  2. In the Wild West of ICOs, most cryptocurrencies are issued in breach of these laws and regulations, under the pretense that they are not securities at all. Hence, most ICOs deny investors any legal rights whatsoever.

    在ICO的法外之地,大多数加密货币都是违反这些法律法规来发行的,把自己伪装成一个跟证券完全不一样的东西。 因此大多数ICO项目不会授予投资者任何合法权利。 与之相伴的往往是一些故弄玄虚的“白皮书”而非切实具体的商业计划。 它们的发行人往往是保持匿名且无从查找。 而且他们也无视所有反洗钱和客户甄别规定,随时向任何非法投资者敞开大门。
