There were lots of disclaimers saying:

>"Every potential participant in the fundraiser is responsible for determining the legality of participation within their jurisdiction."

It was totally legal for US residents to participate, as far as I know. I believe almost all the securities-law obligations resulting from the sale are on Tezos. (Not a lawyer.) The only obligation on buyers might be that they can't resell it without being guilty of selling an unregistered security themselves.
