What the SEC Is Investigating
When the SEC first opened its investigation in 2016, they were primarily looking into allegations related to the sale of securities from brokers that were unregistered, the offer and sale of unregistered securities, and misrepresentation regarding their product offerings to their investors.
From their initial investigation, the SEC requested documents that were not produced in the time frame they requested. This is precisely why the SEC issued a subpoena to receive the documents required for their investigation.
