FTX lesson #1: When a company locates their HQ in the Bahamas for legal reasons, it's not to protect YOU. To be clear, we're not hating on crypto here -- we believe blockchain is a fundamental technology with potential to reshape, well, everything. There's a lot of potential money to be made, but like any speculative investment (including Legion M) there is also a lot of risk. The problem is, when companies offshore operations to skirt US securities laws, there are no cops to call when things go south.

For years people have told us we were wasting our time with equity crowdfunding and that crypto was the place for a company seeking to disrupt the status quo. After all, Legion M embodies much of the blockchain ethos -- uniting the "little guys" to take on entrenched powers (in our case finance and media) -- giving stakeholders a voice in the process and a stake in the outcome -- providing transparency to show what's happening inside the black box.

But while the appeal of blockchain is real, the Bahamas are a bridge too far. We’d be happy to visit on vacation, but we're not moving our company there.

Instead, we've focused on building our business in the highly regulated space of equity crowdfunding. This means that, in addition to filing detailed public disclosures and independently audited financial statements each year, our execs need to submit to bad actor checks. As a company that is regulated by SEC and FINRA, everything we say needs to go through strict compliance review where lawyers verify the facts behind our statements. As an entrepreneur, it's a total pain, but the company is stronger for it.

While wave after wave of crypto-schemes have come and gone, we're still here -- building our business brick by brick -- leveling up each year to bigger and better things. And while there's no guarantee we'll be successful (this is startup investing after all, which means it's highly speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk), at least our investors can rest assured nobody is running off with their money.
