Most ICO lawyers are totally useless and will only dictate you USA laws, even when you have no affiliation with USA.

Read this article to discover how ICO lawyers scam us.

The lawyers love the American Regulatory Model because it requires lawyers for you to do an ICO. The easiest model is just restrict any offering to US persons only if they are Accredited Investors or ban them completely from participating. Problem solved, now you don't need a lawyer.

At the same time a lot of ICOs dont want to do this because they believe that they are limiting their chances of reaching their Soft/Hard caps if US investors dont participate. So people will continue to have 'ICO lawyers' who do nothing

Lawyers have never done anything good for us. All they worry about is their own income!

what are they really doing and why hire a lawyer? it is not the best way, if indeed they anticipate the failure of ico because it is caused by certain factors.

Don't get american lawyers or a less preferable option is to exclude american investors.
And if you are US based company doing an ICO then you have to adhere to said rules anyway.

Lawyers are professions that are quite important and influential in life. I can not imagine who will defend someone in the trial, if the lawyer's profession does not exist. Do we understand all the laws that exist in a country? obviously not and this is a lawyer's job to help us, discuss and find solutions to what we face. Do not blame a job profession, but this is purely because of the fault of its person.

US and some selected few countries are where laws are being implemented to letter so they need to take them serious

You need to take them seriously only if:
- you live there
- you are citizen of that country
- your company (that will do ICO) is registered there

In all the other case you don't have to give a damn about them.

How about if I want to list my coin in US-based exchanges?
Some exchanges actually require legal opinion about the coin's possibility of being considered as a security.
I hope I wouldn't have to give a damn about this, too. It's too complicated.

There are many scams in the ICO. You can only rely on yourself. If you want to make a big profit, then you have to take risks. There is no free lunch in the world.

Wow, I have never heard about this. Most of my decisions to invest is unsure. If we can protect our ICO, it is very good

ICOs residing outside the U.S isnt under that SEC's regulation,you are making this hard simple problem would have simple answers,do not get a lawyer residing into the U.S jurisdiction,get an international lawyer who has a lot of experience probably 10years + so that they will know how to deal with the sec's bullying.

I often see that non-US jurisdiction ICO companies require investors and bounty hunters to pass the KYC procedure. As I understand, their lawyers do not know what to do exactly and give advice to the team to do it just in case.

do you mean what kind of lawyer can be employed in the crypto currency problem? whether this will provide more benefits for the owner of the lawyer.

This is why, as an investor, it is important to do your due dilligence surrounding the team behind an ico.
Especially when it comes to the advisors.
Advisors themselves will rarely get nack to you if you reach out to them (they are often high profile names and very busy)

However any ico that is a serious project will have a way to respond to and address your questions and concerns.
This is where you can ask about their legal team.
If they dont have one or give vague answers, run away!
If they spout us sec laws when they are based in singapore with an asian market in mind run away!

Also, dont forget to ask why they are doing kyc if they rquire it.
You would be surprised how many dont know why they do it
