It would hardly be no regulation at all. If a state was known for allowing fraud people wouldn't trust it, and by extension to a lesser extent firms charted by it. It depends on your definition of fraud. And how long "fraud" could go on before people caught on... if ever. Watch TV infomercials... not fraud but people buy stupid stuff all day long. I posted an article earlier... health insurance costs in this country can equal or exceed what folks pay for housing or put into 401K's in their lifetime. It's huge. And much, much more difficult to understand. Adding complexity doesn't help... less regulation doesn't help. Transparency helps. Allowing the state with the lowest regulatory hurdles to dominate the market is not the way to get the best competition and serve the consumer.
