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

Our agencies are generally happy to let the SEC clean up our messes for us, but the paperwork still slows things down compared.
- yieldcrv 1y agoI see, procedural hurdles to getting enough evidence I just see the announcements when the US has decided it has enough evidence They’ll file for extradition in a criminal case, Canada is not a place that would reject that and even if it was, the US waits until people go on holiday to a place that is more cooperative
