Jake Paul and Lindsay Lohan caught in the tornado with several other celebrities, were charged $400K for violating disclosure rules

Published by

Lindsay Lohan and Jake Paul have been implicated in a lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against a cryptocurrency company called SmartCarCoin.

The SEC has accused SmarCarCoin and its founders of conducting a fraudulent initial coin offering (ICO_ that raised $2.5 million from investors.

The SEC alleges that SmarCarCoin claims to have developed a blockchain-based platform for buying and selling used cars, but in reality, the company had no such technology. The SEC also alleges that Lohan and Paul were paid to promote the ICO on their social media accounts without disclosing that they had been compensated for their endorsements.

Lohan and Paul are not named as defendants in the SEC’s lawsuit, but they are described as “relief defendants” because they allegedly received funds from the ICO without providing any legitimate services to SmarCarCoin. The SEC is seeking to recover those funds as part of its efforts to compensate defrauders’ investors.
