If you are correct then I have already broken the law and my opinion is you have a moral obligation to report me to the SEC or whatever legal authority you believe has jurisdiction. Maybe your obligation to report me is legal as well as moral. You would know that better than me it seems.
Thank you and I appreciate that. But please try to see it from my side.
Correct me if I am wrong but assuming you are right it wouldn't be your job to pick which laws to charge me with. You wouldn't be the one filing the charges with the exact wording of the law(s) and the elements that would all need to be proven in order to secure a conviction. That would be someone else's job so why would I feel a need to justify myself to you?
Even if hypothetically it was your job to decide that I broke one or more laws and it was your job to prove all the elements of a case against me under the Fifth Amendment I would still feel no need to justify my actions to you before I am charged with anything. The only person I would be speaking to in this hypothetical situation about possible defenses would be my own legal counsel. Maybe my lawyer would argue that I have a constitutional freedom of association and the high cost in forming a tribe is an undue burden in my case. That probably wouldn't be a real defense but as long as we're arguing a hypothetical case against me I might as well call upon the First Amendment as low hanging fruit.
The point is I don't want to; nor do I need to argue with you. In the end I have the presumption of innocence. Until I am actually charged with something "because the sky is blue" is just as good of a justification as any.
If it bothers you so much then report me to a legal authority with the proper justification. If they agree with you they'll do their job. If they don't agree with you and don't chose to pursue a case then I hope you'll accept that determination.
It's not an opinion.

I'm trying to help you not attack you.

Suit yourself. Good luck with that.
Thank you. I hope my blog post can now get back on topic.

It's amazing you are so dense you still can't figure this out.
