アンドリュー・レフト、公判期日決定、証券詐欺罪で無罪を主張

空売り金融調査会社シトロン・リサーチの創設者アンドリュー・レフト氏が、いくつかの証券詐欺罪で無罪を主張

空売り金融調査会社シトロン・リサーチの創設者アンドリュー・レフト氏は、7月26日に自身に課せられたいくつかの証券詐欺罪に対して無罪を認めた

レフトはロサンゼルスの連邦裁判所で行われた40分間の審理に出廷し、ロゼラ・オリバー判事はシトロンの創設者に対して400万ドルの無担保保証金と100万ドルの担保付き保証金を課した。

空売り者は特別な許可がなければ10万ドルを超える金融取引を行うことができず、取引活動は制限されています。

報道によると、レフトさんは法廷で両手に手錠をかけられ、オリバーさんの質問にはほとんど「はい」か「いいえ」の一言で答えたという。

彼の公判期日は9月24日に設定されました

米国証券取引委員会と司法省は両方とも7月26日に左派を起訴した。

両機関とも、レフト社は個人投資家を惑わす「おとり商法」の銘柄推奨を行って1,600万ドルの利益を得たと主張した。

“Left bought back stock immediately after telling his readers to sell, and he sold stock immediately after telling his readers to buy,” the SEC said.

Left’s lawyer, James Spertus, reportedly described the SEC and DOJ’s case as “defective” and that Left had no duty to disclose his personal trading intentions.

Spertus reportedly said Left would “never” accept a plea deal from prosecutors as it would imply what he had done was unlawful.

The case against Left stems from a nationwide effort to examine the relationships between hedge funds and short-seller research firms.

Citron has targeted the crypto industry before — recommending investors short Coinbase stock following the exchange’s temporary outage on Feb. 28.

Activist short sellers have also targeted crypto firms

Other “short seller firms” have targeted crypto firms in recent months, which may be looking closely at the outcome of Left’s case too.

Fellow short-seller firm Culper Research slammed Bitcoin BTC $66,596 mining firm IREN on July 11, calling out the “wildly overvalued” firm for talking “big game” about its artificial intelligence and high-performance computing plans but not backing it up with invested capital.

IREN said it spent less than $1 million per megawatt to build its HPC center but experts say between $10 million and $20 million is needed to build a fully operational one, Culper explained:

“To analogize, IREN claims that it’s set to win the Monaco Grand Prix, but just arrived to the track in a Toyota Prius.”

IREN’s stock is down 24.6% since Culper’s July 11 short-seller report on the firm, according to Google Finance.

Kerrisdale Capital analysts also released a short-seller report on Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms on June 5 — claiming Riot “does a far better job playing energy arbitrage games and issuing stock than generating shareholder value by mining crypto.”
