if you attempt to defraud investors via a rug pull in a non-crypto/nft scheme, you will be charged with fraud.avoiding what regulations? lol there's little to nothing outside of the sec seemingly deciding to pick and choose companies in the space to sue and then...what? they win, they settle, whatever. there's still no actual clarity. still no laws. nothing on the books.
i think the crypto market will mature to a point where actual value-based, practical, utility-driven assets will win out but for now...especially with basically no rules and oversight, it's still "the wild wild west" as you put it.
