Are All ICOs Now Officially "Securities" According to the SEC?

Yeah, that's true. They have to also be able to make a reasonable argument that they don't fit the legal definition of "security" or that they're exempt. Even then, regulators may see things differently or even contradict themselves. Sometimes I really want to leave this country...

    I'm confused by these projects that have a "pre ICO" before the real ICO. I just don't get it. It does seem like any interesting project though. I like the idea of cryptocurrency helping impoverished people.

      It's just a pre-sale with a bonus. They also said they "needed to do the pre-ICO before legally forming because the nonprofit element brings in a whole other sector of law, and requires 50k-ish of lawyer bills."
