The funny thing about ICOs is that anyone in the world can invest anonymously AND GET PAID BACK anonymously even if they have no money, don't have a bank account, are a fugitive, in Iran or North Korea, are in prison, have unpaid child support obligations, have large unpaid IRS tax liabilities, or government fines and penalties or are using stolen funds. All the little knobs and levers that governments use to financially control people are rendered useless. The guys taking the money don't know who their investors are, so they can't discriminate. This is probably why they are so popular even though the risks are ludicrous.
