Dear kingblack,
Wow, that sounds awful. Little bit costumer unfriendly - little bit.
No, you should be careful I guess. If it is not allowed in your country then you should know the consequences. Jail would not be the best option.
However, cryptos ftw. my friend. Btc, eth and dash and you are good in it. There are many other coins with huge potential. Just do the right research and so on.
I am not a finance advisor but experienced with stocks and cryptocurrencies. I share my trading plan and stuff. Maybe it is helpful for you too.
Yours truly, Gandalf The White!
