   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1405
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and Strand, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Securities and Exchange Act. In an action by the SEC alleging 
   defendants acted as unregistered brokers and seeking a permanent 
   injunction and disgorgement, the claim for disgorgement was time barred 
   under the Supreme court's June 5, 2017 decision in No. 16-529 Kokesh v. 
   SEC, and the district court's disgorgement order is vacated; under the 
   facts of this case, the district court's injunctive relief is not a 
   penalty and the request for injunctive relief was not time-barred by 28 
   U.S.C. Sec. 2462; the SEC did not err in determining that defendant 
   Crawford was acting as an unregistered broker rather than as a "finder," 
   and the district court did not err in rejecting his finder exception or 
   finder defense.
