More or less, everyone participating in an ICO expects gains. It's not for philanthropic reasons.

  Sure, which is why basically all of the people running ICOs are now risking prison time.

    Anyone who's ever touched bitcoin or run a node is risking prison time. It's luck that running a node didn't get your door kicked in by the feds for being an unlicensed money transmitter. At a certain point you just stop caring and hope they can't lock up everyone. Seems to be working so far.

      FinCEN addressed that point in guidance years ago. Independent full node operators without sole control of the issuance of the cryptocurrency are not money transmitters.
