A temporary hold placed due to suspected financial exploitation of a specified adult generally expires no later than 15 business days after the hold is first placed, unless an authorized extension applies. Choice D is correct. The customer is 67 years old, which falls within the specified adult category for senior financial exploitation protections. These rules allow a broker-dealer to delay a disbursement of funds or securities when the firm reasonably believes financial exploitation may be occurring. The hold is designed to protect vulnerable customers while the firm conducts a review, not to permanently block customer access. Choice A is incorrect because two business days is not the maximum hold period. Choice B and choice C are also incorrect because they understate the standard initial period. The SIE outline includes financial exploitation of seniors under prohibited activities and identifies FINRA Rule 2165, Financial Exploitation of Specified Adults. The regulatory focus is investor protection: firms may temporarily hold suspicious disbursements when exploitation is suspected, while following notice, review, and supervisory requirements.
