Paul Pierce EMAX Promotion
The primary charge is that Paul Pierce promoted the EMAX tokens on Twitter after receiving $244,000 worth of EMAX tokens. He did not make it public that he received the tokens in exchange for promoting it, said the ຖະແຫຼງການຂອງ SEC. Terming the charges as reminder to celebrities, SEC Chair Gary Gensler said influencers need to disclose details of rewards they are receiving while promoting crypto asset ‘securities’.
“The law requires you to disclose to the public from whom and how much you are getting paid to promote investment in securities, and you can’t lie to investors when you tout a security.”
The latest SEC action on crypto related activities comes just a week after charged crypto exchange Kraken with failing to register its crypto staking service. Kraken entered into an SEC settlement agreement which involved discontinuing of the staking service and payment of $30 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties.
