The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged actor Steven Seagal for promoting an initial coin offering (ICO) and failing to report that he was paid for it. In 2018, Seagal was contracted by ICO project "Bitcoiin2Gen" (B2G). At the time, an announcement said that the martial artist was "obvious as brand ambassador," adding that Seagal had "become a believer of Bitcoiin2Gen." Today's notice from the SEC states that the actor didn't disclose that he was offered $250,000 in cash and $750,000 worth of B2G tokens in exchange for his services in promoting the ICO. It goes on to note, however, that the company only paid Seagal $157,000. The SEC maintains that he broke the anti-touting provisions of federal securities laws and has agreed to pay $157,000 in disgorgement, in addition to a civil money penalty of $157,000 to the SEC. -FINANCIAL TIMES |  | | | | | | | Virtual 3D Business Events: Cutting costs and sky-rocketing results with Virtway Events’ Technology Traditional events are expensive, time-consuming and their environmental cost is high.

Nakamoto In March 2014, Dorian Nakamoto became the face of Bitcoin following a report from Newsweek, which falsely claimed that he was the creator of Bitcoin after stating that Satoshi Nakamoto was his birth name. The report, which served as the magazine's front cover at the time, and followed after a two-month investigation, claimed to have uncovered the true identity of the person behind the number one crypto asset. Shortly after, the community quickly came to the conclusion that Dorian wasn't the fact behind Bitcoin, in part aided by the denials from Dorian himself. Following the report from Newsweek, it was reported that a campaign had been launched to fund legal action against the publication. The fundraising site is still up, but doesn't specify how much has been raised - or what Nakamotot has done with the donations. |  | | | | | 6.
