any american can just open LLC account in some foreign brokerage account and buy these shares, but why.? I guess foreigners have much more difficult in sueing an american company or american and file civil or criminal charges. It much harder for a foreigner to sue an american, you have to be physically in court to file the charges. but much easier for an american to sue another american in civil court that is why SEC bans Americans from buying these stocks. if you wired money to some country in another country it's next to impossble to get the money back, but if the person resides in US and money is still in the country, you can still get it back with lawsuit etc. but if the person is another country, the cops in another country won't even answer your emails that you got ripped off.
