> Sorry, what are you suggesting/saying exactly?

Another thing you might want to consider doing:

    - raise capital thru the UK company

    - use said capital to fund the bot to operate on a larger scale

    - remain one among many shareholders (preferably a minority one), most of which aren't based in the jurisdiction that's giving you a headache.

    - just be the salaried COO and single employee of said company, where all other shareholders know fully well that the day they try to wrestle actual control from you, the tech to run the bot only lives in your head ...

    - when BitMex asks for company owners, just provide them with the truth.

This is all of course predicated on your bot actually being able to earn :D
