The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged 38 entities with making significant false statements on Form ADV between 2025 and 2026, attempting to present themselves as legitimate consulting firms targeting U.S. investors. The SEC stated that some of these entities are located overseas, using foreign IP addresses to connect to the filing system, and provided false office addresses, invalid phone numbers, and unverifiable ownership and fund audit information in their documents. Some websites displayed fraudulent registration certificates. The SEC has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, seeking a permanent injunction, a ban on their submission of exempt report advisor filings, civil penalties, and has removed the relevant filing documents of these 38 entities from its official website.

On August 28, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a lawsuit against 38 entities, accusing them of making significant false statements in Form ADV filings submitted between 2025 and 2026. These entities allegedly attempted to disguise themselves as legitimate U.S. investment advisory firms to gain the trust of retail investors and engage in inducement. The SEC stated that these entities are suspected of fabricating office addresses, providing invalid or unrelated phone numbers, and using highly similar ownership structures and financial data. Some entities also claimed that their managed private funds had been audited by accounting firms, but the relevant accounting agencies could not be found in the federal or state public accounting agency directories in the U.S. Additionally, some organizations displayed forged SEC registration certificates on their websites to create a false impression of being regulated. The SEC noted that some of the implicated entities accessed the SEC filing system through IP addresses located abroad and refused to provide relevant records to prove the authenticity of their filing information. Currently, the ERA filings of the 38 implicated entities have been removed from the SEC's official website. The SEC has charged these entities with violating provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is seeking a permanent injunction, prohibiting them from continuing to submit Form ADV as exempt reporting advisers, as well as civil penalties.
