No. The word 'illegal' has very different connotations. It quite 
literally means, "against the law".

Against ToS? Against Community Standards? Legitimate. Saying something 
is illegal is a very different thing. The ToS and Community Standards 
have been in court at least once, and were modified due partly to the 
legality of the ToS itself.

I fully expect 'fictional currency' to be the next sticking point.
