We’ve noticed something interesting recently: Regulation A filings by companies that used to be SEC-reporting companies with quotes on the OTC Pink market, who have ceased to file reports with the SEC and whose trading activity on OTC has flatlined. Why would such companies file for a Reg A offering? Especially since so many of them are complete losers with weird agglomerations of business lines resulting from multiple reverse mergers (“We are a holding company operating in the mattress, muffin…

Well, actually nothing of the sort, but did I get your attention? The SEC is continuing to bring suit against ICO scammers. This one got my attention because (a) the scammers stuck the SEC seal on their website and tried to make out that they were a regulated entity and (b) said they could sell under Regulation A, when they hadn’t filed a Form 1-A with the SEC. Two things here: First, these are dumb criminals. If you can’t work out that the SEC really likes its seal and takes it terribly…

Unlike companies that made only private offerings to investors, companies that have made Reg A or Reg CF offerings are required to make reports to the SEC. Reg A companies must file an annual report on Form 1-K (together with audited…
