Understanding the "Compliance" Trap of a Type of Platform from Mystonks The case of Mystonks is not an isolated instance; it clearly reveals the "Compliance" packaging tactics commonly used by a type of platform operating in the gray area. Looking at the market, many exchanges and financial platforms are reusing similar scripts, and investors need to establish a clear understanding of this.



The typical traps of this kind of platform can be summarized as:
1. Step One: Use the MSB license as a "door opener" for marketing. Leverage its "official U.S." background and extremely low acquisition costs to quickly establish a basic, seemingly trustworthy image.
2. Step Two: Interpret the securities filing using the method of "conceptual substitution". Package a limited filing document (such as a private placement filing) with strict conditions as a comprehensive operating license that can provide services to the public, using information asymmetry for deep misguidance.
3. Step three: Use regional and legal differences for "precision marketing." They are well aware that their business cannot take root in the United States, so they focus on overseas users who are unfamiliar with U.S. regulations, creating a situation where "flowers bloom inside the wall, while the fragrance spreads outside."
As investors, we should learn lessons from these traps. When judging whether a platform is truly Compliance,

Please remember two basic principles:
● True compliance is expensive and tangible. It involves high application fees for licenses, margins, office rent, and local legal team expenses. Those easily obtained, intangible "compliance" must necessarily be of low value.
● True Compliance is transparent and specific. It dares to clearly disclose its license types, numbers, regulatory scope, and restrictions. Any vague or overly general "compliance" rhetoric often cannot withstand scrutiny.
In investment decisions, please revert the term "Compliance" from a marketing vocabulary back to a legal fact that needs to be strictly examined. By upholding this bottom line, we can maximize the protection of our asset security.
