Only something to lose and nothing to gain. Same sentiment for Saudi investors? Same for Israeli? People have different lines and I'm sure soon founders will be doing a great more DD in this new age of outwardly conscious capitalism. I'm patiently waiting for the tweet thread/medium article of a successful founder pointing out all the dirty cash they didn't take. Unfortunately, as of yet it is still a great deal of money that builds companies. Not unwaivering morals... One day.

"Yes" & "Possibly, but being open to investor' individual behaviour to supersede their country's"

See: it's not that difficult. One man's slippery slope is another's perfect hill for early morning skiing.
