SEC打破Unicoin，針對加密公司和交流

多年來，前美國證券交易委員會主席積極採取針對加密貨幣公司和交流的訴訟。現在，隨著保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）接管，監管方法似乎正在發生變化。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has hit token startup Unicoin and three executives with charges of allegedly defrauding investors and misrepresenting a crypto token offering that raised over $100 million.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）已襲擊了代幣創業公司Unicoin和三名高管，指控涉嫌欺騙投資者，並歪曲了籌集了超過1億美元的加密代幣。

The regulator said in a statement that it had reached a settled agreement with the company’s general counsel.

監管機構在一份聲明中說，它已經與公司總法律顧問達成了解決協議。

In a complaint filed on Thursday in the Southern District of New York, the SEC named CEO Alex Konanykhin, board member Silvina Moschini, and former Chief Investment Officer Alex Dominguez.

SEC在周四在紐約南部地區提起的投訴中，任命首席執行官Alex Konanykhin，董事會成員Silvina Moschini和前首席投資官Alex Dominguez。

The agency claimed that they promoted “rights certificates” that would be exchangeable for Unicoin tokens with false and misleading statements to raise the funds.

該機構聲稱，他們推廣了“權利證書”，這些證書可以用虛假和誤導性的陳述來籌集資金。

The SEC also said that Richard Devlin, the company’s general counsel, prepared and caused the company to issue private placement memoranda that contained false and misleading statements about the company’s business and operations.

SEC還表示，公司的總法律顧問理查德·德夫林（Richard Devlin）準備並導致該公司發布私人安置備忘錄，其中包含有關公司業務和運營的虛假和誤導性陳述。

Devlin, who did not admit to or deny any wrongdoing, agreed to pay a $37,500 penalty and accept a permanent injunction.

不承認或否認任何不當行為的德夫林同意支付37,500美元的罰款並接受永久禁令。

Commenting on the same, Mark Cave, Associate Director in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, said,

SEC執法部副局長馬克·凱夫（Mark Cave）在對此發表評論時說，

“We allege that Unicoin and its executives exploited thousands of investors with fictitious promises that its tokens, when issued, would be backed by real-world assets including an international portfolio of valuable real estate holdings.”

“我們聲稱，Unicoin及其高管用虛擬的承諾利用了成千上萬的投資者，即其代幣發行後將得到現實世界中的資產的支持，其中包括國際有價值的房地產持有的國際投資組合。”

He added,

他補充說，

“But as we allege, the real estate assets were worth a mere fraction of what the company claimed, and the company misrepresented the stages of development of its blockchain platform.”

“但是，正如我們所說的那樣，房地產資產僅占公司聲稱的一小部分，該公司歪曲了其區塊鏈平台的開發階段。”

The SEC’s complaint highlights how Unicoin induced investors to participate in the offering by making false and misleading statements about the company, the offering, and the terms and conditions of the offering.

SEC的投訴強調了Unicoin如何通過對公司，發行以及發行條款和條件的虛假和誤導性陳述來參與發行的投資者。

The company claimed to have sold over $3 billion worth of rights certificates, but the actual amount sold was approximately $110 million.

該公司聲稱已出售了價值超過30億美元的權利證書，但實際售出的金額約為1.1億美元。

Furthermore, Unicoin falsely stated that its offerings were registered with the SEC and that its token would be issued in accordance with the terms described in the rights certificates.

此外，Unicoin錯誤地指出，其產品已在SEC註冊，並根據權利證書中所述的條款發行其令牌。

To reach a broad audience, Unicoin ran high-visibility advertising campaigns in airports, taxis, TV, and social media.

為了吸引廣泛的受眾，Unicoin在機場，出租車，電視和社交媒體上進行了高可見性廣告活動。

The company’s public statements and advertisements deceived investors into believing that Unicoin was a large, well-established company with significant assets and revenue streams.

該公司的公開聲明和廣告欺騙了投資者，認為Unicoin是一家擁有重要資產和收入來源的大型，成熟的公司。

However, the SEC said that Unicoin was a small, private company with limited assets and no revenue.

但是，SEC表示，Unicoin是一家小型私人公司，資產有限，沒有收入。

The company’s actions and statements induced over 5,000 investors to purchase the rights certificates.

該公司的行動和聲明促使5,000多名投資者購買權利證書。
