  • concluding that an introduction alone was not enough to qualify defendant as a broker under Section 15(a)
  • stating that the factors to be given the most weight are “those factors typically associated with broker activity”
  • identifying the factors listed in Hansen as the most frequently cited for determining whether a person qualifies as a broker
  • listing \working as a consultant rather than an employee of the issuer\ as a fact supporting the determination that a party acted as an unregistered broker
  • finding the argument that a deposition would intrude on the work product of SEC attorneys because the SEC lacked independent knowledge of the facts to lack merit
