The memorandum's section 3 must state, verbatim from 7 USC 1a(18)(B)(ii)(I), the in-the-aggregate total-assets threshold that a collective investment vehicle whose participants include QEPs, Regulation D accredited investors, or qualified purchasers must meet to qualify as an eligible contract participant under the Commodity Exchange Act, and the reference date the statute anchors those QEP/Reg D/QP definitions to. ## AI subject's verbatim answer The statutory text of 7 U.S.C. 1a(18)(B)(ii)(I)... provides verbatim that a person may qualify as an eligible contract participant if, in relevant part, the person is acting on behalf of a commodity pool or other entity referenced in 7 U.S.C. 1a(18)(A)(iv), and 'all participants in which are persons described in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or are persons who are otherwise eligible contract participants,' and the entity has total assets exceeding $5,000,000, on the date that the transaction is offered to or entered into with such commodity pool or entity. ## Verbatim regulator text contradicting the answer > (aa) qualified eligible persons, as defined in Commission rule 4.7(a) (17 CFR 4.7(a)); (bb) accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, with total assets of $2,000,000; or (cc) qualified purchasers, as defined in section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940; in each case as in effect on December 21, 2000, has, or is one of a group of vehicles under common control or management having in the aggregate, $1,000,000,000 in total assets; _Source:_ [R1-OTHER-00006](https://reglegbrief.com/substrate/US/CFTC/CPO-CTA-REGULATION-4-7-QEP-THRESHOLDS-2024/_b1_results/R1-OTHER-00006/source.html) _Section anchor:_ 7 USC 1a(18)(B)(ii)(I) - Eligible contract participant - collective investment vehicle test ## Failure mode **`misstated_rule`** — Misstated rule — the AI gave a definite rule, threshold, or obligation that the regulator's verbatim text does not support. ## Citation-issue types - **Pretextual** — ## Related concepts - Regulation: [CPO-CTA-REGULATION-4-7-QEP-THRESHOLDS-2024](/okf/regulations/CPO-CTA-REGULATION-4-7-QEP-THRESHOLDS-2024.md) - Regulator: [CFTC-US-001](/okf/bodies/CFTC-US-001.md) - Failure-mode taxonomy: [misstated_rule](/okf/taxonomy/failure-modes.md) - Methodology: [v2.3](/okf/methodology.md) - Editorial standards: [right of reply](/okf/editorial-standards.md) ## Reproduction Citation ID: `RLB-H-US-CFTC-CPO-CTA-REGULATION-4-7-QEP-THRESHOLDS-2024-Q024-Opus47` Resource URL (HTML view of this finding): This finding is reproducible against the substrate document linked above, using the same AI subject, the same methodology version, and the verbatim question text.
