Well no one wants to mess with US government. That's why the restrictive KYC. And no one wants to have repeat of what happened during BAT ico. 4 seconds and poof!!
They aren't messing with the US government by requiring KYC from bounty hunters. They are misunderstanding (IMO purposely misunderstanding) the requirements and intentions of the US government.
I do also have a problem with KYC for investors, but I know regulation is inevitable. Banks must be protected at all costs. Fools and the unlucky always lost their money and scream to the government for help, which they are happy to do for votes and some donations.
Where the bounty hunters came in picture? Bounty hunters have no obligation to do KYC, the tokens given to them, for all purposes, are like a gift. they are not investors. And we all the intentions of US government, we have been here too long.
