Re: export restictions and investments

How do the US export restrictions affect investments into non-US crypto companies? Is it legal for US private persons or companies to invest money into companies developing strong crypto applications for example in Europe?

We got an official legal opinion, which was that wholly-owned subsidiaries of US entities are subject to US regulations in this area.

Since Sun bought the Russian Elvis+ company

Are you really sure that they bought it all? That would go against what we had been told, and I have a great deal of respect for the legal/crypto expertise of "Barry an Jay" at the Washington, DC, law office of Hale & Dorr. /r$
