We look at the SEC’s charging of Kik Interactive’s unregulated securities offering. We recap the SEC complaint, outlining their argument that Kik was a deeply underfunded, low-revenue, high-expense company that attempted a “hail mary” by circumventing securities law by running the Kin ICO. Finally, we step through the pieces of evidence the SEC presents.

Topics:

  • SEC put out a press release along with a complaint on Kik Interactive - SEC Charges Issuer With Conducting $100 Million Unregistered ICO
