(f/k/a TransparentBusiness, Inc.), CEO and Board Chairman Alexander Konanykhin, former President and board member Maria Silvina Moschini, former Chief Investment Officer Alejandro Dominguez, and General Counsel Richard Devlin. The complaint alleges violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as registration violations under Section 5 of the Securities Act against Konanykhin and Unicoin. The SEC alleges the defendants made three categories of material misrepresentations: (1) that Unicoin tokens were 'asset-backed' by billions of dollars of real estate and pre-IPO equity interests when actual assets were worth a mere fraction of those claims; (2) that the company had sold more than $3 billion in rights certificates when it never raised more than $110 million; and (3) that the certificates and tokens were 'SEC-registered' or 'U.S. registered' when they were not. The SEC's Division of Enforcement Associate Director Mark Cave stated: 'We allege that Unicoin and its executives exploited thousands of investors with fictitious promises that its tokens, when issued, would be backed by real-world assets including an international portfolio of valuable real estate holdings. But as we allege, the real estate assets were worth a mere fraction of what the company claimed, and the majority of the company's sales of rights certificates were illusory.' The SEC seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, civil penalties, and officer-and-director bars against Konanykhin, Moschini, and Dominguez. Richard Devlin separately settled without admitting or denying liability, consenting to permanent injunctive relief and paying a $37,500 civil penalty.","heading":"SEC Enforcement Action (May 2025)","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"SEC Press Release 2025-75: Unicoin, Top Executives Charged in Offering Fraud","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-75"},{"credibility":1,"name":"SEC Litigation Release LR-26314","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-26314"},{"credibility":1,"name":"SEC Complaint: Unicoin, Inc.; Alexander Konanykhin; Maria Silvina Moschini; Alejandro Dominguez; Richard Devlin","type":"court_filing","url":"https://www.sec.gov/files/litigation/complaints/2025/comp26314.pdf"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinDesk: SEC Charges Unicoin, Top Executives With $100M 'Massive Securities Fraud'","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/05/20/sec-charges-unicoin-top-executives-with-100m-massive-securities-fraud"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Bloomberg: SEC Charges Crypto Firm Unicoin and Executives With $100 Million Fraud","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-21/sec-charges-unicoin-and-executives-with-100-million-fraud"}]},{"content":"The SEC complaint alleges that between September 2023 and January 2024, Unicoin executives announced property acquisitions in Argentina, Thailand, Antigua, and the Bahamas with purported appraised values totaling more than $1.4 billion. According to the complaint, the majority of those transactions never closed and the actual combined value of the four properties was no more than $300 million. The company marketed Unicoin tokens as 'asset-backed' to suggest investors would be protected by tangible holdings; however, the SEC alleges that when executives were questioned under oath, both Konanykhin and Moschini contradicted this framing — with Moschini allegedly testifying that 'asset-backed' simply meant the company owned some assets, and Konanykhin allegedly testifying that cryptocurrency 'cannot be backed by something.' The SEC further alleges Unicoin advertised returns of up to 9,000,000%, comparing potential gains to Bitcoin's historical price appreciation. The company never issued a single Unicoin token during the period from February 2022 through the filing of the complaint in May 2025, despite more than three years of collecting investor funds. Marketing was conducted through advertisements in major U.S. airports, thousands of New York City taxis, television, and social media, reaching a broad public audience.","heading":"Specific Fraud Allegations: Real Estate and Asset-Backing Claims","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"SEC Complaint (full text, 77 pages), Case 1:25-cv-04245","type":"court_filing","url":"https://www.sec.gov/files/comp-pr-2025-75.pdf"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinGeek: SEC Charges Unicoin in $110 Million Fraud","type":"news_article","url":"https://coingeek.com/sec-charges-unicoin-in-110-million-fraud/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Mugglehead: SEC Sues Unicoin for Fraudulently Claiming Tokens Were Backed by Real Estate","type":"news_article","url":"https://mugglehead.com/the-sec-sues-unicoin-for-fraudulently-claiming-tokens-were-backed-by-real-estate/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"DL News: Unicoin Promised Investors Unicorns.

The company's actual fundraising, per the complaint, never exceeded $110 million, representing an alleged inflation of stated sales by approximately 2,600%. In addition, Unicoin's marketing materials and promotional communications allegedly described the rights certificates and forthcoming tokens as 'SEC-registered' or 'U.S. registered,' when no such registration existed. The SEC also alleged that Konanykhin distributed rights certificates to unaccredited investors without ascertaining their accredited status, and that he engaged in secondary sales of personally-owned rights certificates without complying with Rule 144 requirements for restricted securities. These allegations formed part of the Wells Notice issued in December 2024.","heading":"Alleged Sales Inflation and Registration Misrepresentation","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"SEC Press Release 2025-75","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-75"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Unicoin 8-K Disclosure of Wells Notice (SEC EDGAR)","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001740742/000182912625000028/unicoin_8k.htm"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Cryptopolitan: SEC Charges Unicoin and Three Top Executives for $100 Million Securities Fraud","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptopolitan.com/sec-charges-unicoin-and-three-top-executives-for-100-million-securities-fraud/"}]},{"content":"On December 10, 2024, the SEC Staff issued Wells Notices to Unicoin, Inc., Alex Konanykhin, Silvina Moschini, Alejandro Dominguez, and Richard Devlin, each signaling the Staff's preliminary determination to recommend a formal enforcement action. On December 31, 2024, all five parties submitted a joint Wells Submission disputing the proposed charges and asserting that Unicoin had consistently endeavored to maintain transparency and had adopted compliance improvements during the investigation. In April 2025, the SEC reportedly issued an ultimatum to attend a settlement negotiation meeting on April 18, 2025. CEO Konanykhin publicly rejected the SEC's settlement approach on April 22, 2025, characterizing the SEC's pre-meeting demands as 'unacceptable' and describing the enforcement effort as an abuse of authority tied to the prior administration of SEC Chair Gary Gensler. The SEC filed its complaint approximately four weeks later on May 20, 2025.","heading":"Pre-Litigation Timeline: Wells Notice and Rejected Settlement","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Unicoin 8-K Disclosure of Wells Notice (SEC EDGAR)","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001740742/000182912625000028/unicoin_8k.htm"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinDesk: Unicoin CEO Rejects SEC's Attempt to Settle Enforcement Probe","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/04/22/unicoin-ceo-rejects-sec-s-attempt-to-settle-enforcement-probe"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Fortune: SEC Plans to Sue Unicoin — A Sign Outgoing Chair Gensler's Anti-Crypto Campaign Is Not Over","type":"news_article","url":"https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/12/16/unicoin-gensler-wells-notice-sec-crypto-lawsuit-enforcement-action/"}]},{"content":"Following the SEC's May 2025 complaint, Unicoin and its executives have vigorously denied the allegations. CEO Konanykhin characterized the enforcement action as politically motivated, attributing it to 'holdovers' from former SEC Chair Gary Gensler's tenure. In late August 2025, Unicoin filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the complaint 'plucks snippets of communications and distorts their meaning and context; treats routine financial projection and optimism as fraud; and ignores Unicoin's sober warnings about risk.' On property valuations, the company argues the SEC conflates contractual commitments with completed title transfers, and that all announced deals were backed by binding agreements. On sales figures, the company contends it paired aspirational projections with explicit risk disclosures. Unicoin further argued it had voluntarily registered securities, published audited financial statements, and limited participation to accredited investors. Securities attorney Katherine Reilly, quoted by Decrypt, noted the case represents 'traditional securities fraud' claims rather than novel crypto-specific theory and that Unicoin faces a 'tough road.' As of June 2026, no ruling on the motion to dismiss has been publicly reported, and the case remains pending in the SDNY.","heading":"Unicoin's Legal Defense and Motion to Dismiss","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Decrypt: Unicoin Will Move to Dismiss SEC Fraud Case, Says CEO","type":"news_article","url":"https://decrypt.co/337050/unicoin-will-move-to-dismiss-sec-fraud-case-says-ceo"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinTelegraph: Unicoin Says SEC Distorted Its Filings in $100M Fraud Case","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/unicoin-sec-distorted-filings-100m-fraud-case"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinEdition: Unicoin Hits Back at SEC, Claims Regulator is Pushing 'Fabricated Narrative'","type":"news_article","url":"https://coinedition.com/unicoin-hits-back-at-sec-claims-regulator-is-pushing-fabricated-narrative/"}]},{"content":"The Rosen Law Firm announced a securities class action investigation on behalf of investors in Unicoin Rights Certificates issued by Unicoin, Inc.

Each certificate was represented as an IOU convertible one-for-one into future Unicoin tokens, which were marketed as a 'next-generation' asset-backed cryptocurrency aligned with U.S. regulatory standards. The offering was associated with 'Unicorn Hunters,' a television and streaming show co-created by Konanykhin and Moschini in which entrepreneurs pitch for investment. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was prominently featured as a 'Circle of Money' investor on the show but has not been named in the SEC action. Unicoin marketed its offering through airport advertising, New York City taxis, social media, and television.

He accumulated an estimated $300 million net worth before fleeing Russia in 1992 following what he described as a kidnapping and asset seizure. He was the first Russian citizen to receive political asylum in the United States from post-Soviet Russia, with the grant reversed in 2004 and reinstated in 2007. In March 2022, Konanykhin publicly offered a $1 million bounty for the arrest of Vladimir Putin following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He co-founded Unicoin and has served as CEO and Board Chairman. Maria Silvina Moschini (born 1972, Azul, Argentina) holds degrees in public relations, marketing, and a master's in public relations. She served as Vice President of Corporate Communications at Visa International and later co-founded TransparentBusiness in 2012. In 2020, that company was reported to have reached a $1 billion valuation. She co-founded Unicoin in 2022 and served as its President and Board Chairwoman before stepping down to Board Member status. Alejandro Dominguez served as Unicoin's former Chief Investment Officer and is a named defendant.

Konanykhin publicly attributed continuing enforcement activity to 'holdovers from Gensler's War on Crypto' and conducted a public awareness campaign including trucks circling Washington, D.C. displaying the message 'The War on Crypto is NOT over.'
