SEC打破Unicoin，针对加密公司和交流

多年来，前美国证券交易委员会主席积极采取针对加密货币公司和交流的诉讼。现在，随着保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）接管，监管方法似乎正在发生变化。

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.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）已袭击了代币创业公司Unicoin和三名高管，指控涉嫌欺骗投资者，并歪曲了筹集了超过1亿美元的加密代币。

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

SEC在周四在纽约南部地区提起的投诉中，任命首席执行官Alex Konanykhin，董事会成员Silvina Moschini和前首席投资官Alex Dominguez。

“但是，正如我们所说的那样，房地产资产仅占公司声称的一小部分，该公司歪曲了其区块链平台的开发阶段。”
