Cevap

The correct statements are that an Administrator may issue a summary cease-and-desist order without prior notice to stop ongoing violations, and an Administrator holds jurisdiction over offers originating in, directed into, or received within their state.
State Securities Administrators hold administrative and civil authority within their state, which includes issuing emergency summary cease-and-desist orders to halt unlawful practices without advance notice. Additionally, their jurisdiction extends to any offer to buy or sell securities that originates in their state, is directed to their state, or is received and accepted in their state.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the administrative enforcement powers of a State Securities Administrator.
Confirm that summary cease-and-desist orders can be issued without prior notice or hearing to immediately prevent harm.
The Uniform Securities Act empowers Administrators to act quickly against fraudulent practices, provided prompt notice and a hearing opportunity are given after the order.
2
Analyze the territorial scope and jurisdictional rules under Blue Sky laws.
Confirm that an offer falls under an Administrator's jurisdiction if it originates in, is directed to, or is accepted in the Administrator's state.
Jurisdiction is established whenever a transaction touchpoint occurs within state borders.
3
Evaluate limitations on criminal prosecution powers and federal preemption.
Eliminate choices claiming direct criminal sentencing authority or state registration preemption over federal covered advisers.
Criminal prosecution requires referral to judicial law enforcement (Attorney General), and federal covered advisers are preempted from state registration under NSMIA.
