The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has become increasingly strict when it comes to crypto promotion and offerings and has recently fined many celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, for the same. Interestingly, as per a recent press release, the regulator has sued the founder of Tron blockchain, Justin Sun, for the “orchestration of the unregistered offer and sale, manipulative trading, and unlawful touting of crypto asset securities.”
Göre serbest bırakmak, the SEC has filed a lawsuit against crypto entrepreneur Sun, who is the founder of the Tron Foundation, the BitTorrent Foundation, and Rainberry, in a District Court for the Southern District of New York, over the sale of cryptocurrencies Tron (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT). The regulator noted that Sun was involved in the sale of securities while adding that he engaged in “manipulative wash trading” as well.
SEC, halkın bu tokenlara olan ilgisini artırmak için Sun'ın ünlüleri sosyal medya platformları aracılığıyla tanıtmaları için tuttuğunu iddia ediyor. TRX ve BTT'yi tanıtmak için işe alınan ünlüler arasında Soulja Boy olarak da bilinen Amerikalı rapçi DeAndre Cortez Way; Austin Mahone; aktris Lindsay Lohan; YouTuber Jake Paul; ve Akon olarak da bilinen şarkıcı Aliaune Thiam.
Davada adı geçen diğer ünlüler arasında Kendra Lust olarak da bilinen pornografik sinema oyuncusu Michele Mason; daha çok Lil Yachty olarak bilinen rapçi Miles Parks McCollum; ve Ne-Yo olarak da bilinen sanatçı Shaffer Smith.
“As alleged, Sun and his companies not only targeted U.S. investors in their unregistered offers and sales, generating millions in illegal proceeds at the expense of investors, but they also coordinated wash trading on an unregistered trading platform to create the misleading appearance of active trading in TRX. Sun further induced investors to purchase TRX and BTT by orchestrating a promotional campaign in which he and his celebrity promoters hid the fact that the celebrities were paid for their tweets,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
According to the release, the SEC alleges that Sun sold BTT and TRX via many unregistered “bounty programs” that “directed interested parties to promote the tokens on social media, join and recruit others to Tron-affiliated Telegram and Discord channels, and create BitTorrent accounts in exchange for TRX and BTT distributions.”
The regulator also alleges that Sun, the BitTorrent Foundation, and Rainberry airdropped tokens to the wallets of many investors in the US and did not register these assets as securities with the SEC. Additionally, the agency also accused Sun of violating “the antifraud and market manipulation provisions of the federal securities laws by orchestrating a scheme to artificially inflate the apparent trading volume of TRX in the secondary market.”
İlginç bir şekilde düzenleyici kurum, Sun'ın en azından Nisan 2018 ile Şubat 2019 arasında, çalışanlarını, kontrol ettiği iki kripto varlık borsasının hesapları arasında 600.000'den fazla ardışık TRX ticareti yapmaya yönlendirdiğini iddia ediyor. SEC'e göre, girişimcinin günlük 4,5 milyon ila 7,4 milyon TRX yıkama işlemi gerçekleştirdiğini not etmek çok önemlidir.
The release claims that “Sun also sold TRX into the secondary market, generating proceeds of $31 million from illegal, unregistered offers and sales of the token.” The SEC confirmed that except Cortez Way and Mahone, the other celebrities “agreed to pay a total of more than $400,000 in disgorgement, interest, and penalties to settle the charges, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings.”
Bitnation tarafından daha önce bildirildiği üzere, Gensler kısa süre önce tüm PoS kripto belirteçleri menkul kıymet olarak kabul edilebilir and contradicted CFTC Chair Rostin Behnam’s statement when he said that stablecoins and Ether (ETH) are not securities.
