BARNES, Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur fully in the analysis of the majority, which affirms the Secretary of State’s determination that Garvin sold unregistered securities, and which determines that, to find a wilful violation of the Act, the Commissioner must determine whether Garvin’s conduct was so reckless or so indifferent to the consequences that it displayed a wantonness equivalent to a knowing and intentional violation. I write separately to point out that the record is closed, and we have reviewed all the facts in the record. Applying the proper standard to the facts, the superior court can only draw the conclusion that Garvin’s conduct was not wilful.
