Unicoin 首席执行官 Alex Konanykhin 称 SEC 欺诈指控“完全是公牛”

财富 SEC 计划正式指控 Unicoin 涉及欺诈、欺骗行为以及发行和销售未注册证券的违规行为

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to formally accuse Unicoin of fraud, deceptive practices, and the offering and sale of unregistered securities, according to a letter from the agency’s Division of Enforcement viewed by Fortune. The letter, dated Dec. 14, threatens the company with administrative proceedings and a cease-and-desist order over the alleged violations.

根据《财富》杂志看到的美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 执法部门的一封信，该委员会正准备正式指控 Unicoin 存在欺诈、欺骗行为以及发行和销售未注册证券的行为。这封日期为 12 月 14 日的信函威胁该公司就涉嫌违规行为提起行政诉讼并下达停止令。

The SEC did not specify the exact violations in the letter, which was addressed to Unicoin CEO Alex Konanykhin and obtained by Fortune through a public records request.

美国证券交易委员会没有在这封信中具体说明具体的违规行为，这封信是写给 Unicoin 首席执行官 Alex Konanykhin 的，《财富》杂志通过公共记录请求获得了这封信。

Konanykhin told Fortune that the SEC’s crypto enforcement division issued subpoenas against his company and others in May. Those subpoenas concerned Unicoin’s main product, a cryptocurrency backed by real-world assets, including what Konanykhin described as billions of dollars’ worth of real estate holdings.

Konanykhin 告诉《财富》杂志，美国证券交易委员会的加密执法部门于 5 月份向他的公司和其他公司发出了传票。这些传票涉及 Unicoin 的主要产品，这是一种由现实世界资产支持的加密货币，其中包括 Konanykhin 所说的价值数十亿美元的房地产资产。

The company’s plan to go public through a reverse merger with a shell company called NetCents Technology was announced in April. Unicoin had filed paperwork with the SEC announcing the deal, which would have seen Konanykhin become a major shareholder in the publicly traded company.

该公司计划通过与一家名为 NetCents Technology 的空壳公司借壳上市的方式于 4 月份宣布。 Unicoin 已向 SEC 提交了宣布该交易的文件，这将使 Konanykhin 成为这家上市公司的主要股东。

But Konanykhin said he decided to breach the agreement with the SEC after Trump won the recent election, and the company instead launched an ICO in November. He said that the SEC was “completely pissed off” by the move, and that he had been expecting the agency to take further action against the company.

但 Konanykhin 表示，在特朗普赢得最近的选举后，他决定违反与 SEC 的协议，公司转而在 11 月启动了 ICO。他表示，美国证券交易委员会对此举动“完全生气”，他一直期望该机构对该公司采取进一步行动。

“Complete and utter bulls--t,” Konanykhin said of the SEC’s fraud allegations.

“完全是胡言乱语，”科纳尼欣谈到美国证券交易委员会的欺诈指控时说道。

He added that the company has been subject to several SEC investigations, though the latest is the first to result in a Wells Notice. The notice gives Unicoin 30 days to respond to the SEC’s allegations before the agency can file a formal administrative complaint.

他补充说，该公司已受到 SEC 的多项调查，不过最新的调查是第一个导致威尔斯通知的调查。该通知给 Unicoin 30 天的时间来回应 SEC 的指控，然后该机构才能提出正式的行政投诉。
