Re: Potential list of securities in the US [was: Unlawful Unregistered Securities, DID and VC]

It would seem that your willingness to publish this list is not in fact endorsing any entry, let alone promoting them for sale. Despite noting that there is "an expectation of profit derived predominantly from the efforts of others", which sounds like a vaguely enticing thing.


I suggest that the same principle generally applies to a registry, and that there is no reason not to have one because it might be misunderstood as promoting the purchase of specific securities without meeting the legal requirements for that to be a permitted activity (at least in your chosen jurisdiction).


I also think this argument is eating a lot of time, and generating very little beyond a repeated assertion that publishing lists like this might be illegal, and a lot of people suggesting that makes little sense.


The exception is that there were some early and IMHO very valuable suggestions to apply slightly stronger criteria for what is acceptable as a registry entry.


cheers
