【Answer to question 1】A
【Analysis】
A is correct because certain staff at Liu’s employer appear to be engaged in front-running,a violation of Standard VI(B)–Priority of Transactions,and market manipulation,a violation of Standard II(B)–Market Manipulation.If Liu observes these violations without taking steps to notify her employer,she will be in violation of Standard I(A)–Knowledge of the Law.Liu should know that the conduct observed is likely a violation of applicable laws,rules,and regulations and is a violation of the CFA Institute Code and Standards.Her first step,therefore,should be to attempt to stop the behavior by bringing it to the attention of the employer through a supervisor or the firm’s compliance department.Inaction may be construed as participation or assistance in the illegal or unethical conduct.
B is incorrect because the firm the member is employed by appears to be engaged in a classic pump and dump stock fraud and market manipulation scheme.Removing her name from the firm’s investment recommendation would not alleviate the member from her more immediate responsibilities under Standard I(A)–Knowledge of the Law because the firm and the member must not knowingly participate or assist in and must dissociate from any violations of such laws,rules,or regulations.Now that the member knows of the violations,she must dissociate from them.Inaction may be construed as participation or assistance in the illegal or unethical conduct.
C is incorrect because the firm the member is employed by appears to be engaged in a classic pump and dump stock fraud and market manipulation scheme and the member must not knowingly participate or assist in and must dissociate from any violations of such laws,rules,or regulations as required by Standard I(A)–Knowledge of the Law.Inaction may be construed as participation or assistance in the illegal or unethical conduct.
