George Geek is a computer programmer who tired of working for others and started his own company. He convinced forty investors that he could design software that would rival Microsoft, and sold them each a 10% partnership interest in his firm for $25,000. He designed and printed up the partnership certificates himself. George told the investors that he had a product that was on the verge of being marketable and that when it did-within the next two months-revenues would pour into the company, and he would begin paying dividends. He told them they could expect a 20% return on their money this year, with even higher returns in the years to come.

His activities, of course, were financed by the extremely generous "salary" he paid himself from the investors' monies. Under the Uniform Securities Act, do the investors have any civil claims against George?
