Re: Mayor Eric Adams NYCCoin Touting
Dear Ms. Joseph Varlack:
Today’s memo is to kindly submit xNY.io - Bank.org's inquiry into Mayor
Eric Adams' promotion of NYCCoin.
1.
The federal securities laws are clear that any celebrity or individual
who promotes digital assets must disclose the nature, source and amount of
compensation they received in exchange for the promotion.
2.
As a matter of ethics, risk and compliance associated with digital asset
innovation, xNY.io asks if NYCCoin promotion by the Mayor of New York City
damaged the market for the xNY digital asset (by, for example, devaluing it
through parody or sealed via embossed criticism).
3.
xNY.io - Bank.org concerns made above have evidentiary support to
interlocking director and officer conflicts recognized by the Department of
Justice as potential threats that stifle individual and corporate freedom.
Ms. Joseph Varlack, as a matter relating to working at one of the world's
most ethical companies, famous for risk management and corporate
governance, and as an internationally recognized Blockchain Scholar, I must
adhere to federal securities laws.
-
As such, I classify Mayor Adams as an individual who promoted the
digital asset NYCCoin and must disclose the nature, scope, and amount of
compensation associated.
A failure to disclose this information may violate the anti-touting
provisions of the federal securities laws. Mayor Adams' making these
endorsements may also be liable for potential violations of the anti-fraud
provisions of the federal securities laws, for participating in an
unregistered offer and sale of securities, and for acting as unregistered
brokers.
xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully requests the Office of the Mayor of New York
City to respond to this request by Wednesday March, 15 2023 by Noon EST.
Respectfully yours with appreciation,
Gunnar Larson - xNY.io http://www.xny.io - Bank.org
