🚨 The SEC today charged New York-based investment adviser Adit Ventures Management LLC, its CEO Eric Munson, and three affiliated general partners, Adit Ventures LLC; Adit Ventures II LLC; and Adit Ventures III LLC (the General Partners), for allegedly defrauding investors and client funds in connection with investments in pre-IPO shares, such as SpaceX and Klarna, including by misappropriating advisory client assets and charging millions in undisclosed fees. “Investment advisers are entrusted with acting in their clients’ best interests,” said Corey A. Schuster, Chief of the Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit. “Here, the defendants allegedly engaged in repeated fraudulent acts to benefit or enrich themselves. That misconduct has no place in investment advisory relationships where clients count on investment advisers being their fiduciaries.” 🔗:

One of my top priorities as Chairman is to restore the @SECGov’s public company disclosure regime to one rooted in materiality. As a disclosure agency and not a merit regulator, the SEC should not use its rules to indirectly regulate matters that should be left to the States.

Whether it’s planning for retirement, saving for your child’s education, or growing your nest egg, identifying your goals and creating a plan to achieve them can help keep you on track.  

Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins on @YahooFinance: "We've changed the whole attitude here at the SEC to welcome companies to go public. We're taking steps to look at our rulebook and see what needs modernization and to get back to the basic standard of materiality."

Under my leadership, efforts are well underway to reform the regulatory landscape and Make IPOs Great Again. Every IPO is an invitation to workers and savers to participate in the prosperity of the next generation of American enterprise.

Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins on @FoxBusiness: "What we’re trying to do at the SEC is make it cool be a public company again. It's good for Americans of all walks of life to have the opportunity to invest in the public companies that build America and make our economy so strong."

I am committed to supporting Congress in advancing the CLARITY Act, including providing technical assistance. American leadership in the digital finance revolution means matching the energy of American innovators with a regulatory framework worthy of them.

Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins: "We're not a merit regulator; we don't choose winners and losers. We need to focus on our rules." "There's so many disincentives for young companies to go public. We're out to change that."
