Finally, Andrew Left, founder of Citron Research, is facing SEC charges for allegedly profiting $16 million through misleading stock recommendations. The SEC claims Left engaged in a “bait and switch” strategy, making public recommendations contrary to his trading activities. The Department of Justice has also filed criminal charges against Left for securities fraud and lying to federal law enforcement. If convicted on all 18 charges, he could face up to 25 years in prison.

Left, a vocal crypto skeptic, previously stated in July 2022 that the crypto industry is “just complete fraud, over and over and over.” In a recent interview, Left also claimed that he lost millions of dollars in crypto after being "tricked" by his friend, despite his skepticism.

Left 是一位直言不讳的加密货币怀疑论者，他曾在 2022 年 7 月表示，加密货币行业“完全是一场彻头彻尾的欺诈”。在最近的一次采访中，莱夫特还声称，尽管他对此表示怀疑，但在被朋友“欺骗”后，他损失了数百万美元的加密货币。
