"...for the ethically challenged..."

I knew a guy who was truly ethically challenged. He would out-and-out say that it would be perfectly fine if certain things were not revealed. He used to do one of those infomercials selling money making schemes. He'd rent business jets and present them as his own in his infomercial, along with other shady claims. And yes, he went to jail. And not, no one in my family who knew him is in touch with him, as it's all just too damn disgusting.

It's not about whether you can or cannot be a broker of sorts; it's about misrepresentation and fraud. What you sell must be what you claim it to be (or at least sufficiently to stand up in court); and if you're going to omit certain facts, you better be very careful what facts you omit. I am not a lawyer, but some of you might what to get educated on some of this stuff before the law comes knocking on your door.
