15 U.S.C. § 78zUnlawful representations

submitted 92 years ago by ch. 404 to r/title-15-COMMERCE-AND-TRADE · 156 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The SEC's silence or action about a security does not mean it approves that security. It also does not mean any filed statement or report is true, accurate, or not misleading. Telling a buyer or seller otherwise is against the law.

If the SEC or the Federal Reserve Board takes an action, or fails to act, while administering this chapter, that does not mean the agency has reviewed and approved the merits of any security or any transaction in it. It also does not mean the agency has found that a statement or report filed with it, or examined by it, is true and accurate on its face, or that it is not false or misleading. It is unlawful to tell — or cause someone to tell — a prospective buyer or seller of a security that an agency's action or inaction should be understood that way, or that it has that effect.

No action or failure to act by the Commission or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the administration of this chapter shall be construed to mean that the particular authority has in any way passed upon the merits of, or given approval to, any security or any transaction or transactions therein, nor shall such action or failure to act with regard to any statement or report filed with or examined by such authority pursuant to this chapter or rules and regulations thereunder, be deemed a finding by such authority that such statement or report is true and accurate on its face or that it is not false or misleading. It shall be unlawful to make, or cause to be made, to any prospective purchaser or seller of a security any representation that any such action or failure to act by any such authority is to be so construed or has such effect.
