Rule 10b-5 makes it unlawful, in connection with buying or selling any security, to use a device to defraud, make an untrue or misleading statement of a material fact, or engage in a fraudulent practice. The citation returns the section's current text from the eCFR (heading, text, latest_change_date, amendments) with a source_url to ecfr.gov; add asOf for the text in force on an earlier date.
