Summary

This document is page 81 of a 2017 report by Ackrell Capital titled 'U.S. Legal Landscape' (Chapter IV). It analyzes federal securities laws and bankruptcy laws specifically in the context of the cannabis industry, noting that while securities laws allow capital raising, bankruptcy protection is generally unavailable due to federal illegality. It cites the 2015 Arizona case 'In Re Medpoint Management, LLC' as a precedent for denying bankruptcy protection based on the 'unclean hands' doctrine.
