SEC Complaint Template
Report Securities Violations for Vehicle Title-Backed Securities Obtained Through Fraud
This template enables you to file a formal complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleging that your state is selling securities backed by fraudulently obtained vehicle titles without proper disclosure, violating federal securities laws.
Overview
This SEC Complaint template is designed to report federal securities law violations when states:
- Securitize vehicle titles obtained through fraud (MSO transfer without disclosure)
- Sell securities backed by these fraudulently obtained assets
- Fail to disclose the fraud to investors purchasing these securities
- Misrepresent the legal ownership of the underlying collateral
The SEC has jurisdiction over securities fraud under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This complaint seeks SEC investigation, enforcement action, and potential criminal referral to the Department of Justice.

What Happens After You File
The SEC's Division of Enforcement reviews your complaint to determine if it warrants investigation. Complaints with strong evidence (CAFRs, bond prospectuses, FOIA responses) are more likely to be investigated.
If the SEC opens an investigation, they may issue subpoenas, request documents, and interview witnesses. State officials may be required to provide evidence of vehicle title ownership and securitization practices.
If the SEC finds violations, they may bring civil enforcement actions seeking injunctions, disgorgement of profits, and civil penalties. In severe cases, they may refer the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
Under the SEC Whistleblower Program, individuals who provide original information leading to successful enforcement actions resulting in monetary sanctions exceeding $1 million may receive 10-30% of the collected sanctions as a reward.
