Understanding the distinction between intentional fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and strict liability offenses is critical because the legal standard, burden of proof, and available defenses differ significantly across these categories. Securities law operates on multiple enforcement tracks: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may pursue civil enforcement, state regulators may initiate administrative actions, and federal prosecutors may bring criminal charges, sometimes in parallel.
