Hong and Stadulis analyzed the legal pitfalls for securities issuers who utilize unregistered "finders" to solicit investors, the SEC's restrictive position on permissible activities of finders, activities that require broker-dealer registration and SEC regulatory actions regarding unregistered broker-dealers.

investment advisers,
broker-dealers, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators, and introducing brokers under federal and state laws, as well as the formation and ongoing compliance obligations of registered and private
