Rapper The Game se bo soočil s sodbo v višini 12 milijonov USD, skupaj z izvršitelji v primeru ICO

Reper The Game iz Los Angelesa, znan tudi kot Jayceon Taylor, je zaradi vloge v podjetju Paragon Coin Inc, kripto podjetju, ki naj bi se pred štirimi leti ukvarjalo z neregistrirano prvo ponudbo kovancev (ICO), obsojen na 12 milijonov dolarjev.

Taylor publicly endorsed the Paragon Coin ICO on social media back in 2017. Paragon touted its PRG tokens as a currency for the industrija konoplje in postavljeno $70 million from the public between April 15, 2017, and Oct. 15, 2017.

Tožniki so prvič vložili pritožbo zoper ponudbo leta 2018, kljub temu pa so Tylerja sprva spustili, saj tožnik v prvi pritožbi ni jasno trdil, da je podjetje zaposlilo reperja.

However, in issuing a verdict on the spremenjena complaint, United States Federal District Judge Jeffrey S. White noted that plaintiffs have now provided sufficient evidence to show that “Taylor acted for his own gain or for Paragon’s gain,” and can now be considered a team member and “statutory seller.”

Tožniki so navedli Paragonovo belo knjigo, v kateri je pisalo, da "bi bilo" ustanoviteljem in članom ekipe prepovedano "likvidirati" več kot 20% svojih žetonov PRG v prvem koledarskem letu ", da bi" ohranili stabilno ceno žetona. "

Sodnik White je v sodni odločbi v Kaliforniji 23. junija dejal, da je The Game zdaj strogo odgovoren za 12 milijonov dolarjev plus obresti pred in po sodbi.

Priljubljeni reper je zdaj odgovoren za druge obtožene, vključno s Paragonom, njegovimi ustanovitelji Jessico VerSteeg in Egorjem Lavrovom ter izvršnimi direktorji Eugeneom Bogoradom, Alexom Emelichevim in Garethom Rhodesom.

O tožba v razredni tožbi was first introduced back in 2018, after the plaintiff and investor in the project, Astely Davy, filed the lawsuit and asserted that Paragon should be forced to disgorge its earnings for failing to register its token sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In November of 2018, the SEC naložena $250,000 worth of civil penalties on Paragon for failing to register its token sale, which was a self-described first of its time s strani SEC.

It is yet to be seen how Paragon itself would compensate the money owed to investors, as the founders have prijavljeni bankruptcy and reportedly pobegnil ZDA
