Unicoin，Inc。和由美國證券交易委員會指控的四名高級管理人員欺騙數千名投資者

美國證券交易委員會已收取Unicoin，Inc。和四個高級數字（包括首席執行官Alex Konanykhin和前總統Silvina Moschini）欺騙了數千名投資者

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Unicoin, Inc. and four senior figures—including CEO Alex Konanykhin and former president Silvina Moschini—with defrauding thousands of investors in a crypto offering that raised over $100 million using false and misleading statements about the nature and value of its products.

美國證券交易委員會已指控Unicoin，Inc。和四個高級數字，包括首席執行官Alex Konanykhin和前總統Silvina Moschini，並在加密貨幣上欺騙了數千名投資者，該加密貨幣籌集了超過1億美元的資金，並使用虛假和誤導其產品和價值的陳述其產品和價值。

According to the SEC’s May 20 complaint, Unicoin marketed what it described as “rights certificates” to over 5,000 investors globally. These certificates purportedly gave investors future access to Unicoin tokens—digital assets that the company claimed would be backed by billions of dollars in real-world assets. The SEC alleges that the underlying assets were never worth more than a small fraction of what the company promised.

根據SEC 5月20日的投訴，Unicoin向全球5,000多名投資者銷售了所稱的“權利證書”。據稱，這些證書使投資者將來可以使用Unicoin代幣 - 該公司聲稱將獲得數十億美元的現實世界資產的支持。美國證券交易委員會（SEC）聲稱，基礎資產的價值不超過公司承諾的一小部分。

Konanykhin sold over 37.9m of his certificates for "better pricing"

Konanykhin以“更好的價格”售出了3790萬以上證書

Mark Cave, Associate Director in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, commented, “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. But as we allege, the real estate assets were worth a mere fraction of what the company claimed, and the majority of the company’s sales of rights certificates were illusory. Unicoin’s most senior executives are alleged to have perpetuated the fraud, and today’s action seeks accountability for their conduct.”

美國證券交易委員會執法部副局長馬克·凱夫（Mark Cave）評論說：“我們聲稱，Unicoin及其高管在發行時會剝削成千上萬的投資者，即在發行時，將由現實世界中的國際資產提供支持，包括一家有價值的房地產的國際投資組合，但正如我們所指責的那樣。據稱，Unicoin的最高高級管理人員的欺詐行為是虛幻的。

Unicoin’s aggressive promotional campaign included advertisements on television, social media, airport displays, and thousands of New York City taxis. The SEC alleges that these marketing materials misled the public by describing the Unicoin token as stable, asset-backed, and compliant with U.S. regulatory standards. Investors were led to believe that the tokens were registered with the SEC, when they were not.

Unicoin的積極促銷活動包括電視，社交媒體，機場展示以及成千上萬的紐約出租車上的廣告。美國證券交易委員會（SEC）聲稱，這些營銷材料通過將Unicoin代幣描述為穩定，資產支持並符合美國監管標準來誤解了公眾。投資者被認為，如果沒有，這些令牌是在SEC註冊的。

The complaint states that Unicoin falsely claimed to have sold more than $3 billion in rights certificates. In reality, the SEC alleges the company raised no more than $110 million. Konanykhin, the company’s CEO, allegedly sold over 37.9 million of his personal certificates in an effort to offer “better pricing” and access to investors the company had otherwise disqualified to avoid jeopardizing a registration exemption.

投訴指出，Unicoin錯誤地聲稱已出售了超過30億美元的權利證書。實際上，SEC指控該公司籌集了不超過1.1億美元。據稱，該公司首席執行官Konanykhin出售了超過3,790萬個個人證書，以提供“更好的定價”，並獲得該公司否則取消資格以避免危害註冊豁免的投資者。

Alongside Konanykhin and Moschini, the SEC charged former Chief Investment Officer Alex Dominguez with fraud. All three are also facing officer-and-director bars. The SEC also charged Unicoin and Konanykhin with conducting unregistered securities offerings. Konanykhin is additionally charged as a control person over Unicoin’s violations.

SEC與Konanykhin和Moschini一起，指控前首席投資官Alex Dominguez欺詐。這三個都面臨著官員和導演酒吧。 SEC還指控Unicoin和Konanykhin進行未註冊的證券產品。 Konanykhin還因違反Unicoin的行為而被指控為對照人。

The company’s general counsel, Richard Devlin, was also named in the complaint for negligently making false statements in private placement memoranda related to both the rights certificates and the firm’s common stock. Devlin has agreed to settle the charges without admitting or denying the allegations. He will pay a $37,500 civil penalty and accept a permanent injunction.

該公司的總法律顧問理查德·德夫林（Richard Devlin）在投訴中也因在私人安置備忘錄中疏忽陳述與權利證書和公司的普通股有關。德夫林已同意不承認或否認指控。他將支付37,500美元的民事罰款，並接受永久禁令。

The SEC is seeking permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with interest, civil penalties, and bars preventing Konanykhin, Moschini, and Dominguez from serving as officers or directors of any public company.

SEC正在尋求永久性的禁令救濟，有興趣的不義之處，民事處罰以及防止Konanykhin，Moschini和Dominguez擔任任何上市公司的高級官員或董事，以防止無禮的收益。

The SEC’s investigation was led by Adam B. Gottlieb, Jason Schall, and Joss Berteaud, in the Centers for Economic Analysis unit of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement’s Defiance and Impact Cases Section, and supervised by W. Bradley Ney and Mark Cave. Litigation will be handled by Russell Feldman and Adam Gottlieb, supervised by Jack Kaufman.

SEC的調查是由Adam B. Gottlieb，Jason Schall和Joss Berteaud領導的，在SEC執法部門的反抗和影響案件部門的經濟分析中心，並由W. Bradley Ney和Mark Cave監督。訴訟將由傑克·考夫曼（Jack Kaufman）監督的羅素·費爾德曼（Russell Feldman）和亞當·戈特利布（Adam Gottlieb）處理。

The Commission’s action underscores heightened regulatory scrutiny of crypto-based investment offerings, particularly those targeting retail investors with claims of asset backing and regulatory compliance.

該委員會的行動強調了對基於加密貨幣的投資產品的監管審查，尤其是那些針對零售投資者俱有資產支持和監管合規性索賠的人。
