I currently have access to a crypto investment fund through an individual who trades to make a group of us money, and I want to open it up to friends and have them go through me in order to invest.

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.... Read more »

Your divorce eliminated your name as beneficiary on investments. Investments like a mutual fund or stock are allowed to have a "pay on death" or a "transfer on death" designation. Sometimes the accounts will be in both names, with a "right of survivorship". The goal of... Read more »

If you have trial in 1 month you should have an attorney representing you----please discuss with your attorney. If not, then you need to hire a criminal defense attorney immediately because you do not want to go to a felony trial representing yourself. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, stop... Read more »

You don't mention whether the police were given permission to enter the premises under the circumstances you described. Causing property damage during such a call at private property is not proper or legal, in my opinion. Disabling the recording system is one thing, but damaging the system by... Read more »

You may have more trouble getting your rollover IRA money back than you had hoped. Why?
Because it was deposited electronically (without prejudice) and credited to some unknown person's account at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which is notorious for holding onto money not supposed to be... Read more »
Car was broken into, I made a police report, thought the cameras on the premises worked... turns out they have been broken for years, with no plan to fix them and to keep them as a "deterrent" even though they are hidden

Not sure you have a cause of action against the apartment complex. Generally, others are not responsible for others' criminal actions. And unless they had some sort of affirmative duty to provide for this security, they will likely not be liable.
Hello! I am so grateful for this platform because I have no one to talk to about this. I work for a transportation company overnight as a dispatcher.

A lawsuit is not going to get you what you need right now.
You cannot sue your employer for exposing you to danger. If you face injury you file a workers compensation claim.
If you have workplace safety issues, you can try reporting the conditions to OSHA who promulgates workplace... Read more »

While I agree that they sent more information than was probably necessary, you don't have any apparent damages as a result of this action, and no claim arises from the facts you describe.

Georgia is known as a single party consent state. That means that as long as one person in the conversation is aware it is being recorded then it is a proper and legal recording. There are States like Florida which require all parties know and consent to the recording.

Restraining him won't resolve the lien. Meet with an attorney to discuss the actual situation and allow the attorney to ask questions. Only in this way will you find a way through your problems.
We have been going to them for over a year with zero complaints. The manager says my dog hurt himself. They were rude and refuse to help me understand. We took him to a vet and the vet confirmed he was strangled to death. The company refuses to show me the video footage from today that would prove... Read more »

You would need to sue them and then as part of the suit demand to see all videos that they took of your dog that day.
We are a holdings company with many daughter-brands, each an independent venture, but only the holdings company is a registered LLC. We’d like to sell royalties (percentage of the profit) from these ventures in a crowdfunding campaign. Is that legal?
answered on Jul 6, 2021
Selling royalties to passive investors takes you into the realm of securities regulation, and this would have to be a registered offering or have an exemption from registration. For crowd funding, most offerings will utilize 506(c) which allows general solicitation but requires investors to be... Read more »

There is no legal trading of any securities without a valid license for the appropriate security. If you do not have the right license for example to trade futures, and you do, then you have a serious problem. Don't do it!
to control a combative/ assaultive individual who has or attempted to cause physical bodily harm to the guard/ officer or on another person. or is in the act of destruction of property where the security guard/officer is there to protect?
answered on Jun 18, 2021
A security guard is authorized to use the same degree of force as anyone else. In other words being a security guard means that a person may use force that is reasonable to protect a person or property. Handcuffs do not require a license and are not considered deadly force. If a security person... Read more »

Contact a member of the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC)--they give free consults. It's possible you have a case though I'm not sure if it is likely to cover the costs of bringing it.
The company refuses to lift restrictions on sale from the shares I inherited from my father who was an executive. They do not provide justification, looks like it is a bad faith to force me to sell the stock through them at a much lower price.

The answer to your question is most likely no. Corporations are subject to very strict laws regarding the issuance of stock to non-insiders. Public offerings are extremely expensive.

SEC rule 506(c) mandates only accredited investors are eligible to contribute to the funds. So can non-accredited investor form an LLC to obtain accredited status? If yes, what are the terms and conditions that one should be aware off?
answered on Apr 18, 2021
Either you are accredited or not! The issuer is not going to risk losing a safe-harbor exemption for registration to take on an unaccredited investor. And they it tells you otherwise, watch out!!
See how I can go about resolving this where I dont go to jail
