BUT... When the SEC wants to go after PIPE holders who short against their restricted stock, it invokes Section 5 of the 1933 Act.

And that's what the courts don't like. Here's another article. It takes a point of view different from that espoused by the authors of the ones I posted yesterday:

But it seems to have been written just after the Mangan decision. And since then, the SEC has lost several more cases.

There seems to be a real controversy here that needs to be addressed.
