Unicoin refuses to settle with the SEC and will contest the charges in court
According to Decrypt, Miami-based crypto company Unicoin was asked by the SEC to reach a settlement by April 18 for allegedly violating securities registration and anti-fraud regulations, but CEO Alex Konanykhin refused to compromise, stating that the company will contest the charges in court.
The SEC alleges that it misled investors by distributing the token UNIC through airdrops, falsely claiming it was "asset-backed" and "SEC compliant," and allegedly reselling restricted securities without exemption. Konanykhin described the charges as "pushed by personnel left over from the Gensler era" and plans to counter-sue the SEC for causing billions in losses.
