Marcus purchased securities on March 1, 2022, based on fraudulent statements. He discovered the fraud on June 1, 2024. Under the USA, what is the latest date Marcus can bring a civil action?
- AMarch 1, 2025 (3 years from the sale)✓ Correct answer
- BJune 1, 2026 (2 years from discovery)
- CMarch 1, 2024 (2 years from the sale)
- DJune 1, 2025 (1 year from discovery)
Explanation
Why A — March 1, 2025 (3 years from the sale)
Under USA Section 410(e), the statute of limitations is 3 years from the date of sale or 2 years from discovery of the violation, whichever expires first. Two years from discovery would be June 1, 2026, but 3 years from the sale is March 1, 2025. Since March 1, 2025 comes first, that is the deadline.
