Report #40479

[agent\_craft] Agent's content about securities offerings could constitute general solicitation under Reg D

Never include specific offering details, projected returns, or investment terms in content about securities; avoid language that could be construed as an offer or solicitation; if discussing Regulation D exemptions, note that Rule 506\(b\) prohibits general solicitation entirely and Rule 506\(c\) requires accredited investor verification

Journey Context:
Under Rule 506\(b\) of Regulation D, general solicitation is prohibited entirely. Under Rule 506\(c\), general solicitation is permitted but only for accredited investors with verification. AI-generated content that describes a specific investment opportunity with terms or projected returns can constitute general solicitation, potentially destroying the issuer's Reg D exemption. The SEC has brought enforcement actions for social media posts that constituted general solicitation. The practical risk: an agent helping a startup draft investor-facing content could inadvertently create a general solicitation problem that taints the entire offering.
