It’s been announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Nova Labs of running unregistered security sales and providing incorrect information about their business relationships, all with the intent to deceive investors.
As per the SEC’s allegation, Nova Labs has been offering unregistered investment contracts since April 2019 via two primary offerings: “Hotspots” – electronic gadgets that mine three distinct Nova Labs cryptocurrencies (HNT, MOBILE, and IOT tokens), and a “Discovery Mapping Program” that compensates users with MOBILE tokens for contributing network data.
The grievance asserts that Nova Labs assured investors they’d receive Hotspots and involvement in the Discovery Mapping Program, which would yield returns due to the company’s work on establishing and growing a wireless network. Nova Labs suggested this action would boost demand and worth for their cryptocurrency tokens, ultimately resulting in investor earnings.
Nova Labs made false statements about its wireless network
Under a grave claim of deception, the Securities and Exchange Commission asserts that Nova Labs misled investors by stating that prominent corporations such as Nestle, Salesforce, and Lime were regularly utilizing their wireless network in truth.
It’s clear from the complaint that when Nova Labs was publicly asserting non-existent partnerships with both Nestlé and Lime, these companies responded by sending legal letters demanding that Nova Labs stop such claims.
In simpler terms, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleges that the misleading statements about partnerships played a significant role in investors’ decisions to buy Nova Labs’ Hotspots and their shares. This action is considered a breach of the antifraud rules enforced by federal securities laws.
This case references breaches in parts 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, specifically concerning unauthorized securities sales, and suspected deceitful practices as described in Section 17(a)(2).
The Commission aims to apply various solutions, such as long-term restrictions, recovery of unlawful earnings with added interest, and financial penalties in civil court. This ongoing action underscores the SEC’s commitment to scrutinizing cryptocurrency firms that don’t comply with securities registration regulations while reportedly deceiving investors by making misleading statements.
