Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

I am interested in the upcoming SpaceX IPO. There seem to be many questionable and risky avenues of pre IPO exposure to SpaceX. The following is a link to what appears to be a SpaceX wallet where you may prepurchase shares of SpaceX. I think it's probably a scam.
