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?
Since Sun bought the Russian Elvis+ company it seems to be Ok, just wanted to check if there are any other opinions. Does anyone know of any other non-US companies that have received US investments, or venture capital or whatever?
AFAIK there is no restrictions on US citizens investing in foreign companies. The only restrictions that I know of deal with the exchange of crypto technical information (IE a US company can not buy into a foreign company and then ship their crypto through them.) All crypto sales done by the foreign company must be developed independently of the US company. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
