I don’t think you ever had the right to lie when money was involved. Fraud has always been criminalized, and speech has been restricted to various degrees in many industries: advertising, SEC regulations on public companies officers and shareholders, political campaign contributions, etc. This is really nothing new. If anything the first amendment is too idealistic sounding since the US has never lived up to what it implies.
