1Opinion of the Court

LAVORATO, Justice.

This securities fraud case brought by the State pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 502 (1993) raises several questions. First, what is the appropriate standard of proof for actions brought under chapter 502? Second, can the State use aiding and abetting to establish secondary liability for securities fraud under chapter 502? Third, can the State seek remedies against an alleged aider and abettor under the State’s enforcement provisions in Iowa Code section 502.604(2)? Last, was the evidence sufficient to establish that the defendant, Sam McHose, aided and abetted securities fraud?
