Applicability of the Anti-Money Laundering Act
The objective of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) is to protect the financial system from money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Anyone who provides payment services or who issues or manages a means of payment is a financial intermediary subject to the AMLA (Art. 2 para. 3 let. b AMLA). The issuing of payment tokens constitutes the issuing of a means of payment subject to this regulation as long as the tokens can be transferred technically on a blockchain infrastructure. This may be the case at the time of the ICO/IDO or only at a later date. Under current FINMA practice, the exchange of a cryptocurrency for fiat money or a different cryptocurrency falls under Art. 2 para. 3 AMLA. Compliance with AMLA Anti-money laundering regulation gives rise to a range of due diligence requirements, including the requirement to establish the identity of the beneficial owner. These requirements can be fulfilled by having the funds accepted via a financial intermediary who is already subject to the AMLA in Switzerland and who exercises on behalf of the organizer the corresponding due diligence requirements. The issue of VP Token is subject to KYC and AML, following Swiss rules, prior to admission to ICO/IDO. In particular, all persons resident in the US (United States of America) and in sanctions List Countries as indicated by the Swiss SECO (Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs) are excluded from the possibility of purchasing the VP Token The AMLA procedures must take into account the exclusions of persons and companies indicated in the sanctions list issued by the European Union in connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Risk statements
Purchasing fungible or non-fungible tokens involves substantial risk and may lead to a loss of a substantial or entire amount of the money involved. Prior to purchasing tokens, you should carefully assess and take into account the risks, including those listed in any other documentation. A purchaser should not purchase tokens for speculative or investment purposes. Purchasers should only purchase tokens if they fully understand the nature of the tokens and accept the risks inherent to the tokens. Cryptographic tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft; hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with our system/network in various ways, including malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing, and spoofing which may result in the loss of your cryptographic tokens or the loss of your ability to access or control your cryptographic tokens. In such an event, there may be no remedy, and holders of cryptographic tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund, or compensation. The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens and digital assets is currently unsettled, varies among jurisdictions, and is subject to significant uncertainty. It is possible that in the future, certain laws, regulations, policies or rules relating to cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology, or blockchain applications may be implemented which may directly or indirectly affect or restrict cryptographic token holders’ right to acquire, own, hold, sell, convert, trade, or use cryptographic tokens. The uncertainty in tax legislation relating to cryptographic tokens and digital assets may expose cryptographic token holders to tax consequences associated with the use or trading of cryptographic tokens. Digital assets and related products and services carry significant risks. Potential purchasers should take into account all of the above and assess the nature of, and their own appetite for, relevant risks independently and consult their advisers before making any decisions.
