Wherever a licensee violates any provision of this Act or regulation issued thereunder by reason of the failure of the licensee to comply with the terms thereof or by reason of the licensee engaging in any act or practice which constitutes or will constitute a violation thereof, such violation shall be deemed to be also a violation and an unlawful act on the part of any person who, directly or indirectly, authorizes, orders, participates in, or causes, brings about, counsels, aids, or abets in the commission of any acts, practices, or transactions which constitute or will constitute, in whole or in part, such violation.
It shall be unlawful for any officer, director, employee, agent, or other participant in the management or conduct of the affairs of a licensee to engage in any act or practice, or to omit any act, in breach of his fiduciary duty as such officer, director, employee, agent, or participant, if, as a result thereof, the licensee has suffered or is in imminent danger of suffering financial loss or other damage. Except with the written consent of the Secretary, it shall be unlawful— for any person hereafter to take office as an officer, director, or employee of a licensee, or to become an agent or participant in the conduct of the affairs or management of a licensee, if— the person has been convicted of a felony, or any other criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust; or the person has been found civilly liable in damages, or has been permanently or temporarily enjoined by an order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of any act or practice involving fraud or breach of trust; or for any person to continue to serve in any of the above described capacities, if— the person is hereafter convicted of a felony, or any other criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust; or the person is hereafter found civilly liable in damages or is permanently or temporarily enjoined by an order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of any act or practice involving fraud or breach of trust.
