Rule

There is no private right of action for aiding and abetting a violation of § 10(b) and Rule 10b-5; only primary violators face private liability.

Significance

Eliminated private aiding-and-abetting liability under Rule 10b-5; Congress later authorized SEC (but not private plaintiffs) to pursue aiders and abettors.
