The authority on the “Howey Test” and investment contracts hosting Summit to reveal and educate with newfound data and information obtained in Howey-in-the-Hills last weekend.
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SECwhistleblown.com and TheWhistleIsBlown.com announced today the second Freeing Howey Investment Contract Summit will be held in Miami this weekend and will feature newfound documents dating back nearly 100 years. The documents to be revealed further solidify the abandonment of what was known as the “Howey Test” as related to securities laws.
The “Howey Test” (HT) and the investment contract debacle carried on by the SEC that for the last decade has plagued the crypto industry, its companies, and millions of Americans who hold digital assets, began in little known Howey-in-the-Hills, FL in 1946.
Incredibly, in an epic true story, last weekend the saga came full circle and to an abrupt end some 80 years later in that same big mansion in that same little town where the conflict began. SEC whistleblower Justin W. Keener, who from the beginning of the crypto litigation was skeptical and suspicious of the HT, the investment contract claims, and unregistered securities dealers and unregistered crypto dealer claims, organized and funded a massive research undertaking to destroy those theories and cases.
Sharing the data, information, results, and analysis with his small select group last weekend, the HT was “…immediately done, over, and deemed completely invalid. The Howey name was cleared and the failed ‘test’ set up for re-naming for the purpose of learning from our past, what not to do, and to never allow to happen again,” stated Keener.
It is noted that over the course of 80 years, the HT is believed to have been cited in more than 1,000 federal court cases across the nation, and another 300 state cases. With the HT deemed invalid, interested parties have much to ponder regarding those 1,300 cases. “This is a true testament to demonstrate the importance of ‘getting it right.’ Every important court case must be taken seriously and thoroughly evaluated. This shows that there can be far reaching and long-lasting consequences to ‘getting it wrong’ in a debacle like this,” Keener added.
The group suggests that until the “test’s” new name is chosen it is simply called the HT, such that the Howey family name should no longer be used in that disrespectful manner. The second Freeing Howey Investment Contract Summit will be held this weekend in Miami on Friday and Saturday (March 14 and 15) at undisclosed locations. To attend the Summit either day, or both, interested parties should email a request to Research@Encyclopedia.com or Summit@SECwhistleblown.com.
