The risks consist not so much in outright fraud – big lies that would be jailable offenses – as in more subtle forms of deception. It may well be open deception, with promoters steering gullible amateurs around a business plan’s fatal flaw, or disclosing it only grudgingly or in the fine print.
这些风险未必是赤裸裸的欺诈——足以让人坐牢的大谎言——更多的是更加微妙的骗局。它们很可能是开放骗局，策划者引诱容易上当的业余爱好者绕过商业计划致命的漏洞，或者对漏洞遮遮掩掩，使用非常不起眼的小字进行披露。
