SEC Roundup Ep 104: Fix the Gate, Don't Shoot the Gatekeeper
<p>What happens when standard legal due diligence is treated as a securities violation? Today we sat down with New York immigration attorney and ICAN client Mona Shah. Mona recounts her three-year legal battle against the SEC, which charged her firm under Section 5 despite alleging zero fraud or investor harm. The panel explores how the Commission overlooked extensive EB-5 investor documentation, the devastating human toll on immigrant families, and the chilling message sent to boutique law firms facilitating private capital formation.</p><p>Investor Choice Advocates Network (ICAN Law) is the only nonprofit public-interest litigation firm in the country focused exclusively on reining in SEC overreach and expanding fair access to capital markets.
