Unicoin Offering Fraud – Company and Top Executives Charged
On May 20, 2025, the SEC announced that New York City-based Unicoin, Inc. (“Unicoin”) and three of its top executives, CEO and Board Chairman Alex Konanykhin; Silvina Moschini, former president, former board chairwoman, and current board member; and former Chief Investment Officer Alex Dominguez, were charged for false and misleading statements in an offering of certificates that purportedly conveyed rights to receive crypto assets called Unicoin tokens and an offering of Unicoin, Inc.’s common stock.
The SEC has alleged that Unicoin widely marketed rights certificates to the public through extensive promotional efforts, including advertisements in major airports, on thousands of New York City taxis, and on television and social media. Among other things, Unicoin and its executives allegedly convinced more than 5,000 investors to purchase rights certificates through false and misleading statements that portrayed them as investments in safe, stable, and profitable “next generation” crypto assets, including claims that:
- Unicoin tokens underlying the rights certificates were “asset-backed” by billions of dollars of real estate and equity interests in pre-IPO companies, when Unicoin’s assets were never worth more than a small fraction of that amount;
- Unicoin sold more than $3 billion in rights certificates, when it raised no more than $110 million; and
- the rights certificates and Unicoin tokens were “SEC-registered” or “U.S. registered” when they were not.
