I was referring to the US SEC and DOJ, they will easily establish jurisdiction against anyone touching US markets in some way, anywhere in the world

Including Vancouver

(The US has state level securities regulators too, but they are redundant, weak and almost defunct, but they still exist in every state.)

There is no obvious benefit to being sketchy in BC aside from many things are legal in the US, it’s just a matter of convincing investors to invest

I guess there’s just a sketchy network up there
