HN User icostoss is right though. What you find morally acceptable, has no bearing on RICO statutes. RICO only requires that you knew, or should have known, what an ICO was used for. Which would probably be borne out by your electronic communications trail. It's pretty much open and shut.
But it would never get that far unless an engineer worked for an ICO that took in a lot of money, AND that engineer was dumb and decided not to try and settle with the SEC.
Hopefully, no one is that dumb.
(I suppose there is a chance that the SEC just wants to make an example of your company, so they'd refer you anyway despite your attempts at a settlement. But that would just be bad luck. Like being the guy who gets pulled over on the interstate for speeding. Sure, everyone else is doing it, but the cop is just trying to make a point.)
