Paul Pierce llega a un acuerdo con la SEC por $1.4 millones

Un exjugador de la NBA llamado Paul Pierce llegó a un acuerdo con la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de los Estados Unidos por un monto de 1.4 millones de dólares por las acusaciones de que promovió un proyecto de fichas de criptomonedas en las redes sociales.

Pierce is accused of promoting EthereumMax (EMAX) tokens via social media platforms without revealing that he had received money for the promotion and of making "false and misleading representations" about the project, according to an announcement released by the SEC on February 17. In addition to his publishing posts on Twitter that reportedly showed incorrect information regarding revenues, promoters allegedly paid the former NBA great 244,000 worth of EMAX, as stated by the SEC.

En el pasado, el organismo regulador de los mercados financieros se ha opuesto a las celebridades que promocionaban tokens EthereumMax. Pierce fue acusada de no revelar un pago de $250,000 2022 para publicar una historia en su Instagram que promocionaba tokens EMAX. En octubre de 1.2, la SEC anunció que había llegado a un acuerdo con Kim Kardashian por un monto de XNUMX millones de dólares por cargos muy similares a los que enfrentaba Pierce.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler stated that "this case is yet another reminder to celebrities: 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." "This case is yet another reminder to celebrities that the law requires you to disclose to the public from whom and how much you are getting paid to promote investment in securities," "When celebrities advocate investment options, including crypto asset securities, investors should be cautious to do research to see whether the investments are suited for them, and they should be aware of the reasons why celebrities are making such recommendations,"
