The '''Martin Act''' is a New York State law that prohibits fraud. The federal laws generally regulate investments and securities. Many states also have "blue sky laws" to regulation stock issues that are not subject to federal regulation. New York State has an unusually broad anti-fraud law, which combined with the number of financial transactions that occur in the state results in the NY Attorney General having an unusually powerful role in the nation's economy.<ref>{{cite web
