In both cases, syndication would be needed with a securities attorney.Here is the list of promissory notes recognized by the Supreme Court as NOT being securities is a compilation of nearly random examples:Notes delivered in consumer financing.Notes secured by a mortgage on a home.Short-term notes secured by a lien on a small business or some of its assets.Notes evidencing a “character” loan to a bank customer.Short-term notes secured by an assignment of accounts receivable.Notes that formalize an open-account indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business.Notes given in connection with loans by a commercial bank to a business for current operations.And the determining factors for how a court will judge it to be a security or not are :Whether the borrower’s motivation is to raise money for general business use, and whether the lender’s motivation is to make a profit, including interest.Whether the borrower’s plan of distribution of the note(s) resembles the plan of distribution of a security.Whether the investing public reasonably expects that the note is a security.Whether there is a regulatory scheme that protects the investor other than the securities laws (e.g., notes subject to certain banking regulations).Again, consult an attorney.

This blatantly unconstitutional abuse of power has now been extended AGAIN, which is more than a YEAR after its original inception, despite the Supreme Court's opinion of this action being unlawful.This continued abuse of power is a threat to both our democracy and small business everywhere.Indiana Property Rights Alliance has retained attorneys from Thrasher Buschmann & Voelkel to begin the process of filing suit to immediately halt the unconstitutional eviction moratorium and to potentially recover damages for housing providers.
