How scoring works →Summary
Unicoin Inc. is a New York City-based digital asset company founded by CEO Alexander Konanykhin and co-founder Silvina Moschini, associated with the streaming television series Unicorn Hunters. The company sold 'rights certificates' purportedly conveying future claims to Unicoin tokens, marketing them as backed by billions of dollars in real estate and pre-IPO equity. On May 20, 2025, the SEC filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that Unicoin and its top executives committed securities offering fraud by materially overstating asset values, fabricating sales figures, and falsely claiming SEC registration status, raising more than $100 million from over 5,000 investors between February 2022 and the time of the filing.
