This can be seen, this form of investment is clearly unnatural, funds are highly speculative and seek to avoid banking regulations in collecting funds from the public in the form of deposits. Legal awareness and understanding of the law become an important part because there is thus compliance and legal protection for the parties. Investment law in this case is more closely related to rules based on banking law that explicitly threaten imprisonment and fines against bully investment actors, which point to the legal threat against those who carry out business activities without permission to raise funds from the public.
