A seller realizes that a security was sold in violation of the USA and sends a written rescission offer to the buyer. If the buyer does not respond within 30 days, the buyer:
- AIs deemed to have accepted the offer and must return the security
- BLoses the right to bring a civil action based on that sale✓ Correct answer
- CMay still bring a civil action within the statute of limitations
- DMust file a complaint with the Administrator to preserve the claim
Explanation
Why B — Loses the right to bring a civil action based on that sale
Under USA Section 410(g), a buyer who still owns the security and receives a qualifying written pre-suit rescission offer loses the Section 410 right to sue if the buyer fails to accept within 30 days.
