The US Securities and Exchange Commission said in a press release on Monday that it has settled fraud charges against Adit Ventures Management and its founders and three partners involving pre-IPO investments of companies such as Klarna and SpaceX. The US Securities and Exchange Commission alleges that the investment advisory firm used “false statements and promises” to solicit investments in Adit managed funds and used clients' funds for the company's own interests, including obtaining unsecured loans on preferential terms without disclosure to clients. The US Securities and Exchange Commission said that although Adit Ventures did not acknowledge the charges, it has agreed to accept a consent order, which includes payment of recovery fees and civil fines. The consent order is pending approval by a federal judge.
