Securities Fraud
Securities fraud is a broad concept that includes investor fraud. Securities fraud generally refers to conduct that is prohibited by the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The 1933 Act generally prohibit the sale of securities unless the securities have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the securities or the transaction in which they are sold are exempt from the registration requirements.
The 1934 Act generally prohibits the sale or purchase of publicly traded securities based upon inside information and prohibits the sale or purchase of securities by so-called "statutory insiders" who may have access to "inside information" that is not publicly known.
