I think option A is a good choice. Moving could give him a fresh start.

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.
