Legal Question in Securities Law in New York

SEC /Judgement

I'm a major shareholder of a privately held corporation. I am not on the Board nor do I work for the company. I've been told that there is a possibility that a $2,500,000 fine might be issued against the company. The comapny has no money or income at this time. Who is responsible to pay the fine if the corporation is not able to and goes out of business?

Re: SEC /Judgement

The structure of the business, and the wording of the fine will depend on whether or not you will be held responsible.

I have extensive experience in dealing with the SEC and would be willing to speak with you further if you wish.

In any case, you need to get yourself represented, handling any government regulatory body can be difficult and confusing.
