Quote from TonyFromTampa:
I just found out today that the SEC, CTFC and the Attorney General of the U.S. have already established that it is illegal for American citizens to trade with unregulated offshore options organizations and it's also illegal to give and receive cash bonuses.
The authorities have been investigating and have already charged some in this matter... but what most don't know is that if you were not aware that this was a crime... you may still be charged with a whole slew of federal charges, from wire fraud to money laundering to using the USPS for the commitment of a federal crime and other charges. This is because in the U.S., ignorance of the law doesn't exonerate you from the crime.
Beware... watch this and other warnings on "You Tube". (You Tube no longer accepts videos offering bonuses).

Hello. If the binary contract is not actually purchasing the option/security, thus the "option" is not really secured/purchased, is it still considered illegal? Also could you provide the link to the SEC. CFTC site that says it's illegal. Thanks so much.
I'm not saying that you need to stop whatever you're doing and jump onto Nadex.Quote from Jack_Larkin:
Anyone else cringe every time they hear or read someone saying 'the' forex instead of just forex?
One trades 'in' the market, not the market.
