Defendants Move to Dismiss SEC’s Stock Promotion Scheme Lawsuit
Published

Last November, I wrote this post about a recent case filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission naming cannabis industry players for an alleged stock promotion scheme (or, as some call them, anti-touting violations). Last month, the primary individual defendant, Jonathan Mikula, filed a Motion to Dismiss the claims against him. The other individual defendant, Christian Fernandez, filed his own Motion to Dismiss shortly after.
The case is one to watch given its potential impact on the cannabis industry at large – especially in light of Mikula’s pending Motion to Dismiss – which argues, in part, that the SEC must prove a specific scienter requirement to successfully plead their securities violation claims against him.
What is a stock promotion scheme?
To recap, stock promotion schemes involve scenarios where public companies hire promoters or marketing firms to generate publicity for their stocks, and those promoters or marketing firms publish articles boosting those stocks – while failing to publicly disclose that they’re receiving payments from the companies. Those writers will post seemingly unbiased, glowing articles or reviews about the companies when they’re really nothing more than paid advertisements. Sometimes, the number of articles can get into the hundreds. And sometimes, the articles even go so far as to state the writers had not been compensated by the companies they’re writing about, when they in fact were.
The SEC v. Mikula, et al. Complaint
The Complaint at issue alleges Mikula unlawfully promoted the securities of four issuers without disclosing the fact that he was paid for those promotions. As one example – one of his articles stated, on behalf of Elegance Brands, that its CBD product, Gorilla Hemp, was retailing for $3.95 per can and could ultimately yield Elegance Brands a 2,630% price increase. It also claimed distribution agreements were in place which could potentially increase Elegance Brands’ share price by 9,900% in five years. He presented his “recommendations” to therefore invest in Elegance Brands as unbiased and not paid for, even though he actually was compensated via cash and “extravagant expenses.”
Mikula’s associates, which include Fernandez, were also charged for acting as middlemen. The SEC alleged they arranged to receive a percentage of investor funds under the guise of “consulting agreements” with the companies.
The Defendants’ positions
Between the filing of the Complaint and December 2022, most of the parties agreed to settle with the SEC by agreeing to permanent injunctions (meaning, they agreed to a laundry list of things they can never do again, starting immediately). Monetary penalties ranged from the $100,000s to the $700,000s. And, the individuals agreed to various bans from serving as an officer and director of any company.
However, Mikula and Fernandez chose to file Motions to Dismiss instead. In broad strokes, Mikula’s Motion to Dismiss is interesting – it argues the SEC failed to plead all facts required by the statute to allege an “anti-touting” violation. Mikula’s position is that this failure impacts all five claims for relief against Mikula:
- Violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5(a) and (c)
- Violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5(b)
- Violations of Section 17(a)(1) and (3) of the Securities Act
- Violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act
- Violations of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act
He cites Section 17(b) of the Securities Act (15 U.S.C. section 77q(b)), which provides:
“It shall be unlawful for any person, … to publish, give publicity to, or circulate any notice, circular, advertisement, newspaper, article, letter, investment service, or communication which, … describes such security for a consideration received or to be received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter, or dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt …”
Mikula’s position is that the SEC has done nothing more than quote buzzwords of the statute as a legal conclusion – it wholly fails to factually allege that Mikula published articles about the stocks “for a consideration received” from the issuers. His position is that receiving payment, even from an issuer, isn’t enough – there must be a causal element demonstrating that the article’s publishing occurred “for the consideration received.” Here, the SEC’s allegations within the Complaint do not specifically allege that the issuers’ money caused Mikula’s publication.
Should scienter be required?
Of course, this essentially amounts to a position that scienter should be pleaded as an additional element of anti-touting allegations. Mikula’s Motion to Dismiss notes the Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit have not ruled on the exact question of whether the SEC must plead and prove scienter to state a violation of Section 17(b). However, relevant case law certainly has impliedly inserted an element of fraudulent intent in prior situations. And, Mikula argues that the core conduct is analogous to the federal bribery criminal statute where the Supreme Court implied a requirement that there be a showing that a defendant acted “corruptly.”
Secondarily, his Motion to Dismiss also generally argues the SEC failed to plead their fraud claims with particularity, and the SEC proceeded in an improper venue (or the case should be transferred to a more convenient forum for the remaining defendants). Fernandez’s Motion to Dismiss makes similar claims.
Conclusion
While the SEC’s pursuit of stock promotion schemes is no new development, their attention to the cannabis industry makes sense in light of the fact that securities violations (and associated lawsuits) have abounded for years, and the public is increasingly interested in both consuming and investing in the space. This case is certainly one to be watched – both as a potential cautionary tale and as potentially precedent-setting in securities law.
In terms of being a cautionary tale, this case serves as a good reminder that the SEC considers stock promotion schemes to be a huge threat to the investing public. In 2017, Melissa Hodgman, then Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, was quoted as stating “Our markets cannot operate fairly when there are deliberate efforts to reach prospective investors with positive articles about a stock while hiding that the companies paid for those articles.” To ensure that purportedly objective investment information is what it claims to be, the SEC has historically settled for high amounts of disgorgement or penalties, as well as injunctive relief.
In terms of being potentially precedent-setting in securities law, Mikula’s position that the SEC must specifically plead a scienter requirement is not squarely addressed by the courts. He is asking the Court to demand the SEC prove he acted with the requisite scienter by proving he had a certain fraudulent state of mind, i.e., intending to mislead the investing public. While it’s up for debate on whether this should be required (especially in order to get past just the pleadings stage), plenty of law in analogous situations do require a high bar in demonstrating scienter to avoid early dismissal (such as fraudulently inducing a shareholder to buy or retain shares or insider trading).
If the Court is sympathetic to Mikula’s position, it may make for significant case law that may make the SEC’s job of pursuing stock promotion schemers much more difficult. This would essentially create an additional factor the SEC to prove – scienter – which is often a fact-intensive inquiry that is difficult to establish, especially in advance of discovery.

Cannabis Leasing in Competitive License Jurisdictions
Published

Cannabis leasing is incredibly complicated for both lessors and lessees. But things can get a lot more complicated in competitive license jurisdictions. I’ve worked with both lessors and lessee-applicants in competitive licensing jurisdictions, and today want to highlight some of the key things I’ve seen over the years.
#1 Why competitive licensing is different from everything else
If you’re reading this and are not familiar with competitive licensing, I’m referring to localities (or in some cases, states) that only allow a small, fixed number of licenses. In competitive licensing jurisdictions, you’ll often see dozens of applicants for a small handful of available licenses – for example, thirty or so applicants for four licenses.
You may point out that most cities in fact have some kind of cap on licenses, either expressly, because there is a finite application window, or because there is restrictive zoning. However, what I refer to as competitive licensing is a situation where, maybe 1-6 licenses will be available in one short application period.
This is why I refer to “competitive” licensing. And it gets truly competitive. Applicants may end up spending hundreds of thousands on legal, design, consulting, and other fees to just to submit an application. Without any guaranty of success.
So as you can imagine, this creates some pretty interesting dynamics for cannabis leasing. And that brings me to point #2.
#2 Is a cannabis lease even mandatory?
Put yourselves in the shoes of a competitive license applicant. You may be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars submitting an application with no guaranty of success. You may be up against a dozen or more highly capitalized, highly qualified companies looking for the same license. Do you want to get locked into a multi-year lease without any guaranty of being able to operate? Obviously not.
Many localities address this by requiring applicants to provide something less than a full-fledged lease. This may include a lease with an early termination right if the license doesn’t come through. Or it could be as simple as an option to lease or even an LOI. Recently, the trend seems to be in favor of binding options to lease, which is generally more “binding” than a simple LOI.
In all of these cases, the lessor usually wants something to allow the lessee to apply for the license. If there’s a lease with an early termination option, this may be reduced rent for some initial period – sometimes even reduced through a buildout. If it’s an option, there may be a monthly option fee that would be commensurate with some kind of reduced rent. But overall, lessors are generally charging the lessee something. After all, they are keeping the property off the market while the lessee applies for a license.
#3 Location, location, location
Both competitive licensing and more “open” jurisdictions limit potential locations to specific zones and areas within their borders. There are also generally buffer requirements (e.g., you can’t be next to a school). In my experience though, competitive licensing jurisdictions tend to be even more restrictive in terms of where applicants may apply. A trend I’ve seen is that applicants must often get a “zoning verification letter” prior to applying. A ZVL will allow the city to provide some initial sign-off on the proposed location.
In a jurisdiction with a restrictive location map, potential lessors are in for a lot of calls. I’ve worked with competitive licensing lessors who get numerous calls from brokers or potential lessees for leasing in restrictive map situations like this. Obviously, this means that rental value can go up – way up.
At the same time, lessors generally have zero experience with cannabis and are unfamiliar with cannabis laws. Lessors must be careful not to make promises about zoning, location compliance, buffer zone restrictions, or anything else. This should be squarely on the shoulders of the prospective lessee. Smart lessors disclaim and representations about basically anything in their agreements with the lessees.
#4 Lessors should expect some participation in the process
In any competitive cannabis licensing process I can remember, lessors are required to submit documents to the city that authorize the applied-for use. For some reason, simply signing a lease that authorizes the use just isn’t enough. So many localities require lessors to sign documents acknowledging that their lessee will be authorized to engage in cannabis use once licensed. The trend now seems to be to require lessors to sign not just statements, but notarized attestations.
Some localities go above and beyond. I’ve seen some that require lessors to certify that they only leased the property to the lessee at issue, in an effort to prohibit lessors from entering into multiple options to have fallback options if one proposed lessee doesn’t get a license (more on that below). Lessors should be aware of what they are signing so they don’t end up liable for some kind of false statement or even perjury.
#5 What can lessors do to hedge their risk?
Most localities require that lessors only authorize one specific entity to apply for a license at the lessor’s property. This is good for the proposed tenant, who has no competition for the specific property (after all, what would happen if two companies won at the same property?). But it’s not great for lessors, who have to trust that their proposed lessee will beat out all the competition or walk away. What landlord would want to get property leased for only a few months and start that process all over again?
Some cities address this by allowing lessors to authorize multiple applicants at the same address. This is obviously better for lessors. But it’s not great for lessees for the inverse reason of what I noted above. In those places, lessors should expect to see proposed lessees demanding exclusivity – and in those cases the lessors may be justified in asking for higher option payments.
Conclusion
Competitive licensing is tough, but can be made a lot more difficult if the property owner and proposed lessee aren’t on the same page. Dealing with the issues raised above is critical at the outset, or an applicant can waste a lot of time and money on a situation that won’t work.

Everything You Need to Know About THCA
Published
2 hours agoon
September 26, 2023By

You’ve almost certainly heard of THC. Roughly half of Americans say they’ve tried marijuana, and THC is the cannabinoid that’s responsible for its psychoactive effects. Since Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana use in the U.S., the majority of the country has followed suit. It’s only illegal in 12 states, and even then, it’s decriminalized in some places. In the near future, it may even be moved to a Schedule 3 drug.
However, THC isn’t the only compound in marijuana that’s gained popularity. It’s one of over 100 cannabinoids that have been identified, and each one has its own set of potential therapeutic benefits. CBD is the most well-known, followed by CBG, CBN, and delta-8 THC. However, there’s another cannabinoid that’s gaining traction: THCA.
What Is THCA?
THCA (short for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the precursor molecule to THC. It occurs naturally in raw cannabis (whereas THC doesn’t) and converts to THC when the flower is exposed to heat and light.
When cannabis is dried and cured, THCA slowly becomes THC. This is why inhaling marijuana has such a strong effect; it’s full of potent THC molecules that were created from THCA. THCA isn’t the only cannabinoid acid you’ll find in cannabis. Others include:
-
CBDA (cannabidiolic acid)
-
CBGA (cannabigerolic acid)
-
CBCA (cannabinolacetic acid)
-
CBGVA (cannabigevarinic acid)
-
THCVA (tetrahydrocannabivarin acid)
Since THCA isn’t psychoactive, you won’t get “high” if you consume it in its natural form. However, there’s growing evidence that it has its own unique set of therapeutic benefits, some of which are similar to THC.
The Science Behind THCA
THCA is the compound that eventually transforms into THC, a process encouraged by heat, time, and light through a process known as decarboxylation. This phenomenon involves the shedding of a carboxylic acid group, thus altering the compound’s structure and effects.
A distinguishing feature of THCA is its instability under controlled storage conditions. While it is prevalent in fresh cannabis, it easily transitions into THC when exposed to certain elements, making it a dynamically changing compound.
Even at temperatures ranging between 4ºC and 18ºC (39ºF to 64ºF), THCA tends to decarboxylate, a quality that points to its sensitive nature and the intricate care needed in its preservation. This characteristic presents a conundrum in achieving precise laboratory results; ‘THC contamination‘ is practically a given with all THCA testing.
What Does THCA Do Inside the Human Body?
While it might appear as a challenge in the scientific community, it is this very attribute that has piqued the curiosity of researchers and enthusiasts alike. Everything that exists in the world of cannabis compounds has a role to play in the human body through the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This remarkable system, discovered recently thanks to the pioneering work of Raphael Mechoulam, stands as a guardian of homeostasis, ensuring a balanced internal environment for various vital systems, including the brain and immune system.
THCA’s large molecular size prevents it from binding to the CB1 receptors, which are responsible for THC’s psychoactive effects. It also does not bind to CB2 receptors, which are primarily responsible for anti-inflammatory responses. THCA still produces an array of therapeutic effects. According to 2023 research, it’s been shown to be an effective anti-inflammatory agent. It also improves neuroproductivity, making it potentially beneficial for treating neurodegenerative diseases. Some research on rats has shown THCA to reduce nausea and vomiting as well.
THCA vs. THCV
THCV is another interesting cannabinoid found in cannabis. It’s similar to THCA in that it doesn’t bind to the CB1 receptor, but it has different effects on the body. Unlike THCA, THCV binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors. It can act as an appetite suppressant, making it a potential treatment for obesity-related conditions, including diabetes.
THCV is technically a psychoactive compound, but its effects are quite different from those of THC. Only very high dosages result in a feeling of euphoria, and its effects wear off sooner than the effects of THC. THCV is typically present in low concentrations, but certain strains can have higher levels of THCV compared to others. Most of the time, these strains also have higher THC content than the average strain.
THCA vs. THC
Since THCA decarboxylates even at low temperatures, smoking or vaping cannabis with a “high THCA content” won’t necessarily mean you’re getting more THCA (that is, if you decide to smoke or vape it). The process of burning or heating the marijuana will cause all of it to turn into THC.
To isolate the THCA and experience its effects, users need to use alternative methods of consuming cannabis. They have to take the flower and extract the cannabinoids to preserve the THCA’s properties. By consuming high-THCA cannabis, you’re able to reap its potential benefits without any of the psychoactivity associated with THC.
Here’s a look at some of the key differences between THCA and THC:
Potency
THCA isn’t seen as a potent compound at all. Its psychoactive effects are practically nonexistent, like many cannabinoids. THC is the only one that produces a noticeable high. THCA becomes potent once it’s heated, burned, or cured. Crystalline THCA can be packaged and sold in high concentrates, so cooking, vaping, or smoking it could have extremely potent effects
In fact, that’s usually the main reason people buy high-THCA flower (like that from Bud Brothers THCA Raleigh). Due to the much higher concentration of THC this process produces, it sometimes yields a more potent high than regular marijuana of the same caliber.
Benefits
THCA has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits, so it may be beneficial for treating certain chronic conditions (neurodegenerative diseases). It’s also been studied for its ability to reduce nausea and improve appetite. It’s also worth noting that THCA can be enjoyed without being intoxicated, which is a huge benefit for those who don’t want to experience the effects of THC. As the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, THC is a lot more heavily researched. According to an extensive body of research spanning decades, benefits include:
-
A mind-altering effect users describe as “energizing,” “elevating,” “relaxing,” “pleasurable,” or “psychedelic.”
-
Pain relief from chronic pain syndromes like Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, and Multiple Sclerosis
-
Appetite stimulation for chemotherapy patients undergoing cancer treatment
-
Neuroprotective qualities to protect nerve cells from damage and degeneration
-
Improved sleep quality and duration
-
Chronic pain relief
-
Relief from stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other mood disorders
-
Overall improved mood and outlook on life
In general, THC serves most of the “benefits” of all the other cannabinoids. However, it’s also mind-altering, which is a turn-off for cannabis users who only want the therapeutic benefits. THCA is among the several cannabinoids that helps fill this gap.
Consumption
It’s easy to use THC. There are seemingly countless options for consuming cannabis and cannabis extracts, each with a different level of potency and control. Marijuana users can choose to smoke or vape however they like. They also have countless options for edibles, including cannabis butter, which they can use to cook THC into just about anything at home. Really, the only big decision they have to make is, “How much THC do I want to consume?”
However, THCA is more complicated. It isn’t enough for THCA users to find a way to ingest it without cooking, burning, or vaping it. It can turn into THC even under slight warmth or sunlight. If it’s forgotten in the car for too long, it’s ruined. The only two options for THCA users are:
Most often, THCA users blend it into a juice or smoothie, as its bitter flavor is, according to some, nearly unbearable on its own. It can also be mixed into other food items and consumed that way (as long as they are cold foods). For anyone willing to put up with the taste, it’s also possible to consume the cannabis flower as-is.
Legality
At the federal level, THCA isn’t illegal, but it can quickly turn into THC (often without the user’s awareness). And, THC is generally the reason people use cannabis. It could be considered an analog of THC and still be subject to federal law. under the Analogue Act.
If you’re purchasing a THC product (such as cannabis flower) with THCA content, it will still be subject to cannabis laws in your state, even if you don’t intend to use the substance for its psychoactive effects.
It’s important to research the local laws and regulations before using THCA products. In a legal state, you might be able to purchase it with relative ease. However, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and double-check first.
Final Thoughts
Compared to other cannabinoids, THCA is rare (and tough to come by). Since it can’t be heated even a little bit, it’s certainly less convenient than many other cannabinoids with similar benefits. It’s a promising compound many enjoy using for its therapeutic, non-psychoactive properties.
When you’re shopping for THCA products, it’s more important than ever to look for ones from reputable growers. Since you’ll likely be consuming the product outright, you don’t want nasty chemicals or metals inadvertently entering your body, and you don’t want to risk consuming THC when you don’t intend to.
