Câu 15: SERIES-63: Uniform Securities State Law Examination

Jeremy Sly considered himself somewhat of an inventor. The only problem was that his day job interfered with his opportunity to exercise his creativity. He came up with a plan to get outside investors to support his inventive activities. To this end, he produced and distributed a brochure advertising partnership interests with a guaranteed return on investment of at least 15% after the first 12 months, based on what he had allegedly generated from his other (non-existent) inventions. Given these facts, is Jeremy guilty of any security violations under the Uniform Securities Act (USA)?

1. A. No. The facts don't indicate whether any partnership interests were actually sold, and there can be no violation unless there is a sale.
2. B. No. An interest in a partnership is not considered a security.
3. C. No. It is not against the law to believe in oneself and promote one's ideas.
4. D. Yes. Even an "offer" to sell securities must not contain any untruths. — đáp án hiện tại
