Company warning data is sourced from the CFTC's RED (Registration Deficient) List and the SEC's PAUSE (Public Alert: Unregistered Soliciting Entities) program — official U.S. government lists published to warn the public. Per both regulators, inclusion on these lists does not mean a court or the regulator has concluded that a violation of law has occurred. Entities with similar names may be unrelated; verify registration at NFA BASIC and FINRA BrokerCheck. Data is updated daily.
