SEC Fines Celebrities for Advertising ICO

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined boxer Floyd Mayweather and musician Khaled Mohamed Khaled, better known as DJ Khaled, for promoting ICO Centra.

Mayweather and Khaled did not report on the remuneration, which means the promotion of ICO could look impartial, although in fact it was a paid campaign, as explained in the report of the department. Meanwhile, back in November 2017, the SEC warned that celebrities who receive rewards for advertising ICO and do not disclose the amount of fees, violate the law. At the same time, the regulator warned investors that the intention to invest money should not depend on the opinions of actors, athletes and other stars. SEC recommended that investors verify the independence of sources and distinguish advertising from recommendations.
