But according to the law, they can't allow unregulated equity to exist. In that link, it describes the
"Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010" which includes things like
"Regulations of Swap Markets" these are credit swaps,
it has the "Investor advisory comittee" which is a continuation of the "Investor Protection and Securities Reform Act of 2010" requires broker dealers of securities (what you and I know as exchanges) be registered with the SEC.
The real nail in the coffee for why regulators can not legally allow unregulated equity tokens is:
"The Securities Act of 1933"
Which requires "that companies disclose important financial information through the registration of securities." and
"that investors receive financial and other significant information concerning securities being offered for public sale"
So in saying that current laws should be enforced...well they are being enforced.
Yes, I know. What I meant is I wish they would change the regulations to allow unregulated security tokens but have law enforcement more consistently go after scammers through "regular" laws (e.g. fraud law).
For example, the software market is largely unregulated. But if someone sets up a website and starts collecting payments for a non-existing software, they are committing fraud and should be prosecuted. I believe it should be similar with security tokens.
If you intentionally make false or deceitful claims about your business or run away with investment money, you are committing fraud and should be prosecuted.
