A bar order stops you from associating with a registered entity.

It does not stop you from having opinions, and there is an enormous grey economy of men in rented offices selling opinions about industries they used to be in, and most of it is legal, and Gerald Rask lived just off the edge of it.

The office in Norwalk was leased by an LLC in his wife’s maiden name.

He had no bank account of his own; he was paid by a second LLC, which invoiced a third, which had a relationship with a mid-market advisory in Boston, and the man at that advisory who took his calls had been an analyst under him in Milwaukee in 2004.

None of that structure is unusual.
