Unicoin，Inc。和由美国证券交易委员会指控的四名高级管理人员欺骗数千名投资者

美国证券交易委员会已收取Unicoin，Inc。和四个高级数字（包括首席执行官Alex Konanykhin和前总统Silvina Moschini）欺骗了数千名投资者

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.

美国证券交易委员会已指控Unicoin，Inc。和四个高级数字，包括首席执行官Alex Konanykhin和前总统Silvina Moschini，并在加密货币上欺骗了数千名投资者，该加密货币筹集了超过1亿美元的资金，并使用虚假和误导其产品和价值的陈述其产品和价值。

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.

根据SEC 5月20日的投诉，Unicoin向全球5,000多名投资者销售了所称的“权利证书”。据称，这些证书使投资者将来可以使用Unicoin代币 - 该公司声称将获得数十亿美元的现实世界资产的支持。美国证券交易委员会（SEC）声称，基础资产的价值不超过公司承诺的一小部分。

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

Konanykhin以“更好的价格”售出了3790万以上证书

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.”

美国证券交易委员会执法部副局长马克·凯夫（Mark Cave）评论说：“我们声称，Unicoin及其高管在发行时会剥削成千上万的投资者，即在发行时，将由现实世界中的国际资产提供支持，包括一家有价值的房地产的国际投资组合，但正如我们所指责的那样。据称，Unicoin的最高高级管理人员的欺诈行为是虚幻的。

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的积极促销活动包括电视，社交媒体，机场展示以及成千上万的纽约出租车上的广告。美国证券交易委员会（SEC）声称，这些营销材料通过将Unicoin代币描述为稳定，资产支持并符合美国监管标准来误解了公众。投资者被认为，如果没有，这些令牌是在SEC注册的。

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.

投诉指出，Unicoin错误地声称已出售了超过30亿美元的权利证书。实际上，SEC指控该公司筹集了不超过1.1亿美元。据称，该公司首席执行官Konanykhin出售了超过3,790万个个人证书，以提供“更好的定价”，并获得该公司否则取消资格以避免危害注册豁免的投资者。

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与Konanykhin和Moschini一起，指控前首席投资官Alex Dominguez欺诈。这三个都面临着官员和导演酒吧。 SEC还指控Unicoin和Konanykhin进行未注册的证券产品。 Konanykhin还因违反Unicoin的行为而被指控为对照人。

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.

该公司的总法律顾问理查德·德夫林（Richard Devlin）在投诉中也因在私人安置备忘录中疏忽陈述与权利证书和公司的普通股有关。德夫林已同意不承认或否认指控。他将支付37,500美元的民事罚款，并接受永久禁令。

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正在寻求永久性的禁令救济，有兴趣的不义之处，民事处罚以及防止Konanykhin，Moschini和Dominguez担任任何上市公司的高级官员或董事，以防止无礼的收益。

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的调查是由Adam B. Gottlieb，Jason Schall和Joss Berteaud领导的，在SEC执法部门的反抗和影响案件部门的经济分析中心，并由W. Bradley Ney和Mark Cave监督。诉讼将由杰克·考夫曼（Jack Kaufman）监督的罗素·费尔德曼（Russell Feldman）和亚当·戈特利布（Adam Gottlieb）处理。

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.

该委员会的行动强调了对基于加密货币的投资产品的监管审查，尤其是那些针对零售投资者具有资产支持和监管合规性索赔的人。
