Offered a position at crypto startup. Legal risks if it is dishonest?

Hello,

Individuals can be held liable for their actions and decisions within a company, even if they were not directly involved in fraudulent activities.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

In general, if you are employed by a company in the UAE, you are protected by the UAE Labor Law. This law outlines the rights and obligations of both employers and employees, and it applies to all employees in the private sector, including foreign workers.

If you have a written employment contract, it should clearly outline your job responsibilities, salary, benefits, and any other terms and conditions of your employment.

If the company fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the contract, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation or take legal action.

However, if you do not have a written contract, your rights and protections may be limited. It is important to carefully review any employment contract before signing it and to seek legal advice if you have any concerns.

Additionally, if the company is involved in any illegal activities, you may also face legal consequences for your involvement, even if you were not aware of the company's actions.

It is important to thoroughly research the company and ensure that they are operating legally before accepting a position with them.

In summary, if the company is not honest or fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in your employment contract, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation.

However, it is important to carefully review any contracts and research the company before accepting a position to avoid any potential legal issues.

Dear Questioner,

If the company has a license, a physical address, a bank account, and you have an employment contract with them, and the company's activity aligns with the activity specified in the license, then you are not responsible for the company's intentions.
