The Payments Experts Podcast

What if you could navigate the murky waters of SEC regulations and the payments industry with ease? This episode brings you face-to-face with the insights of senior associate attorney Jarvis Lagman and associate attorney Bill Petti, as they dissect the impact of SEC subpoenas regulation on the payments industry. We chew on the complexities of how federal securities laws empower potential investors to make informed decisions, and how cryptocurrency has been labeled as securities by the SEC. Not stopping there, we explore the implications of activities and services related to payments that are subject to securities laws, and the obligations that tag along.
An understanding of the power dynamics between the SEC and the payments industry is crucial. Lagman and Petti help us unravel the pros and cons of various approaches to securities regulation and how one can guard themselves both ethically and legally. We take the conversation a notch higher, as we ponder on the respect accorded to the SEC and its potential to inhibit commercial activity. Also, we attempt to answer the question - is there more leeway to dispute rulings in a traditional court setting than in an administrative proceeding? And of course, we wouldn't leave you hanging without discussing the best practices to follow for your protection.
Let's not forget the bread-and-butter issues that affect businesses daily. We talk about how securities law applies to businesses raising funds or selling equity positions, regardless of whether they are public or private. We emphasize the importance of transparency and best practices in managing records, financial reporting, and accounting. We also discuss the absolute necessity for LLCs to have an operating agreement and the potential consequences of not having one. Wrapping up the episode, we give you insights into the rights you have during an SEC investigation and the different indemnification statutes that may be applicable. Stay tuned and equip yourself with this crucial knowledge.
