Or in spite of it. This is a startup website, where thousands of software engineers get paid in lottery tickets that are not regulated, because they cannot sell the lottery tickets (THAT is regulated). There has been nominally more money coming in to ICO's which are terrible investments than startups in the bay area. Thats how bad SEC regulations are: all that money could have gone to way more promising ventures, but it cant because it is blocked. There is no problem if you want that level of protection, but rich people dont have it and profit from not having it. You go pay your poor mans tax and let the people that don't want to pay it roam free.
