2. “embodies a flexible rather than a static principle, one that is capable of adaptation to meet the countless and variable schemes devised by those who seek the use of the money of others on the promise of profits.”

3. “As discussed above, the Indiana legislature amended the definition of "security" in March 2000 to include "viatical settlement contract [or] any fractional or pooled interest in a viatical settlement contract." As we hold today that the VSCs at issue were "investment contracts" under the definition of "security" before the amendment, we find it unnee-essary to rehash the common debate in statutory interpretation cases concerning whether this amendment constituted a change in the law or a clarification of prior legislative intent. The amendment confirms, however, the long-standing policy of our legislature to protect the investing public.”
