SEC Announces Charges in SPAC Fraud Caper, Warns of SPAC Risks
The
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged a group of people and companies for misleading claims about a recent special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC), assertions which stood to gain one CEO $200 million in shares.
Facing charges are SPAC
Brian Kabot, the SPAC’s proposed merger target
Momentus, and Momentus’s founder and former CEO
Mikhail Kokorich. All but Kokorich are in the process of settling for total fines north of $8 million for their roles in misleading claims about Momentus’s technology and about national security risks associated with Kokorich. They will also reportedly agree to tailored investor protection undertakings and the SPAC sponsor’s forfeiture of founder’s shares it stands to receive if the merger, currently scheduled for August 2021, is approved. The SEC has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Kokorich.
