WASHINGTON, DC - 03/07/2018 (PRESS RELEASE JET)
With the recent legal action taken by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other state and federal regulators against multiple companies related to potentially illegal Initial Coin Offerings, the need for expertise and assistance in conducting a legal and compliant ICO has risen dramatically. As a result, blockchain business expert Ian Scarffe, crowdfunding industry expert and pioneer Ruth E. Hedges and U.S. securities lawyer and ICO counsel Kendall Almerico have joined forces to offer guidance to companies holding an ICO for U.S. investors.
For companies who wish to pursue a legal and compliant blockchain-related business and raise funds through an Initial Coin Offering in the U.S., Ian Scarffe, a leading expert in the Bitcoin, blockchain and crypto industries, will provide services related to the proper implementation of blockchain technology into their business model, and additional guidance into the proper structure of a complaint coin or token offering. Hedges, who is one of the world’s foremost authorities on crowdfunding marketing and one of the original pioneers of the equity crowdfunding legislation in the JOBS Act, will provide guidance in the structure, marketing and crowdfunding outreach portions of each Initial Coin Offering. Almerico, well-known as one of the top equity crowdfunding and JOBS Act attorneys in the United States, will provide clients with legal guidance as to the structure and marketing of each offering in a transparent and legally Initial Coin Offering compliant manner.
"We want to welcome high-quality companies, rule out any fraudulent activities and protect the welfare of the main street investors," noted Scarffe.
“Because of the large number of scams and failures that have become pervasive in the ICO marketplace, we are glad to see the SEC and other regulators stepping in and going after those companies that break the rules,” said Hedges. “We are here to make sure issuers do it right and to protect new investors.”
Almerico added, “For those quality companies that want to conduct an ICO and follow the law, we are here to provide guidance and to steer them away from the landmines that await them.”
