SEC-i endine juht hoiatab mõjutajaid krüptohindadega manipuleerimise eest vastutusele võtmise eest

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is pursuing crypto influencers who have promoted scam projects and are found to be manipulating the prices of certain tokens via social media. Former SEC chief John Reed Stark took to Twitter to warn crypto influencers to be ready to face prosecution.

Tähelepanu kõik krüptopromootorid, kes kasutavad sotsiaalmeediat krüptoväärtpaberite hindadega manipuleerimiseks: ebaõnnestumine ei ole teie ohus. Mitte ainult ei jää teid lõpuks vahele, vaid teie vastutusele võtmine on ka nagu kala tünni laskmine.

In his tweet, Stark called out social media crypto influencers who shilled numerous sketchy crypto projects and often helped them manipulate market prices during the bull run. He warned that for any form of price manipulation — be it the price of exchange-listed securities, penny stock securities or crypto securities — the same anti-fraud rules apply, and the days of social media crypto influencers are numbered.

The former SEC chief drew attention to the brazen and arrogant way in which so many social media influencers grift their victims. Most shilling and price manipulation occurs via social media platforms like Twitter, Discord, Instagram or Reddit. Stark noted that the nature of securities fraud makes it easier to detect and prosecute, unlike other forms of fraud where the perpetrator often tries to hide behind their identity.

„Reguleerivad asutused ja õiguskaitseorganid peavad oma arvutid sisse lülitama, et avastada erakordne ja hiilgav tõendusjälg veenvatest ja elavatest süüstavatest tõenditest. Tõepoolest, sotsiaalmeedia pole kaugeltki valitsuse käte sidumine muutunud virtuaalseks köieks, mida paljud krüptovennad (ja õed) kasutavad enda üles poomiseks. Stark selgitas.

Stark cited the example of notorious crypto influencer Francis Sabo, who was laetud in a $100 million securities fraud case and used social media platforms to manipulate exchange-traded stocks.

Apart from Sabo, there have been numerous instances of crypto influencers found to have violated securities law. The most famous case is Kim Kardashian, who was fined $1.26 million for promoting a scam project.

Another major influencer to face the law is Bitboy Crypto, an influencer who has met a lot of public ire for promoting shady projects. On March 31, the YouTuber was nimetati 1 miljardi dollari suuruses kohtuasjas for promoting unregistered securities. In November 2022, the SEC also issued multiple subpoenas to influencers for promoting Hex (HEX), Pulsechain (PLS) and PulseX (PLSX) tokens.
