SEC is taking action against crypto-project promoters

July 15, 2021 by Syed Ahad

Individuals linked with digital currency ventures from the crypto-mania era are still being prosecuted by the SEC.

The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) announced today that they have reached an agreement with Coinschedule.com, a website that provided information and trust scores for initial coin offerings (ICOs), in their case charging Coinschedule’s successor company, United Kingdom-based Blotics Ltd., with violating anti-touting provisions.

Coinschedule was a website that listed information about coins and tokens, provided direct links to the project’s websites and the location where token offerings were held and created credibility and operational risk evaluations for each coin and token they listed.

It was active from 2016 to August 2019. Those measurements, according to Coinschedule, were produced using a proprietary algorithm however, the truth is that digital currency projects paid Coinschedule to cover their coin or token.

Individuals who promote securities must declare the kind, nature, and amount of compensation received in exchange for the promotion, which Coinschedule failed to do, according to the anti-touting provisions of federal securities laws.

“As the SEC’s order finds, Coinschedule presented potential investors with seemingly independent profiles about token offerings when in fact they were bought and paid for by token issuers,” said Kristina Littman, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Cyber Unit. “The securities law prohibiting touting securities for compensation without appropriate disclosures to investors is clear and longstanding.”

France minister has set a new rule for UK and US travelers

June 5, 2021 by Raba Noor

Travelers to France from countries where the COVID-19 risk is ranked “orange,” such as the United Kingdom and the United States, will be required to be vaccinated and provide a recent negative test result, according to European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune.

Under new rules set to take effect from June 9.

“People coming from orange countries who have not been vaccinated will need to prove they have an imperative reason to travel to France such as a legal case or child care and will also have to show a recent negative COVID-19 test,” Beaune said.

For countries that France classifies as “green,” which includes all European Union member states, as well as a number of countries where the virus is considered to be under control, such as Australia, South Korea, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, New Zealand, and Singapore, the entry requirements, are less restrictive.

“If you come from a green country and you are vaccinated, you are welcome to come and enjoy France. If you are not vaccinated, you will need a recent negative test to enter French territory, he said.

People from red-listed countries, such as South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, India, and Turkey, can only visit France if they have a strong reason, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not.

Beaune further said, “French residents would only have to take a test to enter the country, even if they were arriving from counties classified as red or orange.”
