Un ancien joueur de la NBA nommé Paul Pierce a conclu un accord avec la Securities and Exchange Commission des États-Unis pour un montant de 1.4 million de dollars sur des allégations selon lesquelles il aurait promu un projet de jeton de crypto-monnaie sur les réseaux sociaux.

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.

Dans le passé, l'organisme de réglementation des marchés financiers s'est opposé à des célébrités qui poussaient les jetons EthereumMax. Pierce a été accusée d'avoir omis de divulguer un paiement de 250,000 2022 $ pour publier une histoire sur son Instagram faisant la promotion des jetons EMAX. En octobre 1.2, la SEC a annoncé qu'elle était parvenue à un règlement avec Kim Kardashian d'un montant de XNUMX million de dollars pour des accusations très similaires à celles auxquelles Pierce était confronté.

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,"
