Are Bounty Hunters In Danger From SEC?

[Zed0X]

I don't think US SEC would even bother checking bounty hunters. If there's any gov't institution that's a danger to bounty hunters, I think that would be the tax authorities.

Forget about the bounty hunters, I am more interested in the social media influencers

I doubt that Sec will start controlling social networks or something related to ICO advertising.  After all, Sec initially had to regulate the projects themselves, and not its advertising!

if promotions are removed from social media, what will ICO do to introduce their products? is the team dev quite silent and the SEC will take the role for promotion? of course not ... this is irrational when they will close all promotional media and of course there are special filters without having to close everything

"The next wave of enforcement by the SEC, stimulated by its recent
settlement with professional boxer Floyd Mayweather and music
producer DJ Khaled, is expected to be on social media influencers
who have promoted ICOs to the general public."

According to the news above, SEC will soon be taking an active interest in ICOS promoters on social media of which bounty hunters play a major role. Now I am thinking, bounty hunters are paid to promote ICOS on social media and to some, it is a source of income. What happens if SEC decides to shut down any form of ICO promotion on the social media? How badly will this affect bounty hunters? Can they do this? What are your thoughts on this?

It is a very possible scenario that bounty hunter hunting jobs will be greatly affected. They can implement this rule on bounty hunting but maybe ICO will come out with other ways of promoting their ICO. If ICO can survive bounty hunters should still be able to survive in crypto hunting.

I think Sec can control in USA they can not control the whole world bounty hunters I believe so but if they took such step it will be very disappointing for bounty hunters. But I don't think so it will happen because social media is the best way to promote anything.

It can only be possible if they can introduce other ways of promoting ICos .
Bounties have come be be integral part of ico projects.
So it's very necessary for success of ICos.

I think SEC can't make such a decision because it has power only for financial sector and companies, not for privates and bounty hunters are physical people. A decision like this does not have any sense because marketing promotion is not an illegal activity.

The issue ought not be for abundance seekers, but rather for deceitful ventures that the SEC should now take control of. A total restriction on advancement in informal organizations is definitely not an exit plan. Here's a walkthrough of all the disdainful KYC might be required for abundance seekers.

[mightwalker]

I see no danger here. It needs to because we saw many scam, fraudulent situation in this year. So it is necessary for me.

[M.bhussaini]

problem should not be for bounty hunters, but for unscrupulous projects that the SEC must now take control of. A complete ban on promotion in social networks is not a way out. Here's a walkthrough of all the hateful KYC may be required for bounty hunters.

I do not think that the SEC will tighten the rules for the promotion of ICO projects in relation to bounty hunters. If it concerns the payment of taxes, then US citizens can pay taxes on this type of activity on a general basis. And if you are not a citizen of the United States, then we do not care about US tax laws and the SEC decisions on this.
SEC deals with global ICO issues and protecting the interests of its citizens. In addition, if we are talking about social networks, bounty hunters participating in the ICO signature campaigns on this forum and other similar forums will be able to continue their work.

[Tristanerus]

I dont really understand what is sec. In my opinion i think those hollywod or actor/ actress it just an addition to help promote some ICO'S project. Bounty hunters will continue earn bounty token since it just a small part of the allocation of the project.

[Lighthouze]

I don't think the SEC have jurisdictions over social media and what should or shouldn't go on there. Individual social media platform owners could decide to censor ICO related posts just like Facebook did at some point this year. But should push come to shoves, bounty hunters could continue working on other platforms like Altcointalk, Bitcointalk, etc

 Yes they don't have any jurisdiction over social media but they have the power to make things uncomfortable if they have the mind to. Its a matter of reaching out to the social media platform owners and making them see things their way. Already Twitter is seriously banning accounted that into ICO adverts and such.

In my opinion, I think that if SEC will really take a move about promoting ICOs through social media, it would greatly affect all of us who are dping bounty hunting. But, if it really happens, maybe the bounty hunters will do some alternative promotions, take for example, the signature campaign, it has the highest allocation among other campaigns, so I think we can still survive without the social media campaigns. But of course, let us hope that this will never happen.
