********What it's all about*********

"Currently, Rule 504 provides an exemption from Securities Act
registration (e.g. extensive disclosure, including audited financial statements and other details) when small businesses make
securities offerings that do not exceed an aggregate annual
amount of $1 million. Further, Rule 504 allows stock
purchasers to receive securities that are not "restricted."
(As defined under Rule 144,
a restricted security can only be freely traded in the public
markets if it meets certain conditions, including that it be held
for a certain period of time, typically at least one year.)
Purchasers of Rule 504 stock may resell their securities without
registration or other sales limits.

Fraudsters take advantage of Rule 504 in a variety of ways. It has
allowed them to acquire large quantities of cheap unregistered
stock, artificially pump up the share price through false
statements
and other manipulative activity, and then sell the stock at a great
profit.

This proposal would help put an end to pump and dump schemes by
reclassifying all securities issued under Rule 504 as "restricted
securities." As such, these securities could only be resold after
a one-year holding period, through registration, or through another
exemption. "
