The Order includes Dorn’s affiliates, agents, employees, successors, and control persons.

According to the Order, Dorn sold investment contracts to at least four Nebraska residents. The investment contracts were not registered for sale in Nebraska, and Dorn had not filed a claim of exemption for the investment contracts with NDBF. The Order prohibits Dorn from offering or selling securities until such securities are registered with NDBF and until Dorn is registered with NDBF as a broker-dealer or agent. The Order further provides that any claim of exemption from registration must be shown by proof satisfactory to NDBF.
