Q. Financial investment question

June 16, 2022

A: This response does not constitute legal advice. Yes. If you take your friends' money for access to an "investment fund" an "individual" (read: not a broker) runs, you could be violating several securities laws as well as potential "blue sky" State laws. Further, based upon the limited facts you've provided, it also sounds like the "individual" who is "trading" on your behalf is violating several securities laws because they are likely an unregistered broker. Your continued participation through the unregistered individual, alone, will likely not present a legal risk to you. However, in my experience, it sounds like you may taking an unnecessary financial risk; there are no such things (yet) as a "crypto investment fund."
