That picture probably isn’t an emoji, because emojis aren’t detailed enough for a message of that size. But they do convey some information, which is why, we assume, people use them. And since emojis are capable of conveying information, they are also capable of conveying misinformation, even misleading information that violates the securities laws.

Why can’t they increase the…

It’s 1-SA filing season again for Regulation A filers, and time to make some observations about the consequences of not filing.
