Option C sounds smart. Registering with the SEC could help him bypass state issues.

But he might face issues in the new state too. I prefer option B, filing an appeal.

I thought the appeal timeframe was 60 days, but I could be mixing it up with something else I studied.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like the SEC registration might be a valid route, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember something about appealing decisions, but I'm not sure if it's with the attorney general or in court.
