IB Analyst Angel Investing - Compliance Issue

Hey guys, recently started angel investing and want to see how it's usually received by BB compliance. Was told my investment requests may be denied because companies are in my sector coverage… what would happen if I just ignore and invest discreetly? How would the bank find out? What would be the consequence if they did find out after the fact? Thanks.

yeah idk… do IB analysts just not invest in startups at all then? that'd be so annoying
