Unsourced non-notable neologism that fails WP:NEO. William C. Skelley who allegedly coined the term doesn't seem to have an article either, so no target for a possible redirect. Add to that the fact that a certain William Carleton used the term in his blog already in May 2012. I can't find any reliable sources that indicate how this term is routinely being used outside of a few law and/or financial blogs. De728631 (talk) 17:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to crowd funding. This article is kind of a mess, containing no sources and consisting primarily of a long definition of an accredited investor. What sourcing there is seems too closely tied to crowd funding in general to deserve its own article. Perhaps someone could add a section to the crowd funding article.
