The SEC has made inquiries with Yuga Labs about its accounting practices.

The SEC looks into Yuga’s revenue figures, profits, and other financial statements.

Yuga has been accused of faking profits for years.

The company has been accused of faking profits for years. Yuga Labs was founded in 2017 and has raised $28 million from investors, including venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Yuga was also accused of misleading investors about its financial situation for years. In an affidavit filed by the SEC earlier this month, one former employee said he had been instructed to make “misleading statements” about how much money the company was making and where it would spend it—and that he felt pressured into doing so because he did not want his job at Yuga Labs jeopardized if there were any questions about their accounting practices or business model.”

Yuga’s top investors are still holding on to their shares.

CEO Yuga Labs’ investors are still holding on to their shares. In the wake of the SEC’s investigation into his company, CEO Evan Williams has been charged with securities fraud and wire fraud for allegedly selling unregistered shares of Yuga Labs stock to investors in 2014. However, he remains free on bail and has not been charged with any crime related to these allegations.

Investors who bought into Yuga Labs shares as part of its initial public offering (IPO) in 2014 have claimed that they were misled about the nature of their investment opportunity by Williams and other executives at the company. But despite these claims, most still believe that YL’s business model is sound enough for them to receive returns and keep their money safe from legal risks associated with ICOs.

Yuga Labs may be a fraud, but it’s still in business.

While it’s true that Yuga Labs is under investigation for fraud, the company’s business model remains alive. As of this writing and after numerous conflicting reports, Yuga Labs has not been shut down or taken over by another party. The company continues to operate from its Mission District headquarters at full capacity, and staff members remain active in their employees’ roles.

The fact that Yuga Labs continues to operate demonstrates how difficult it can be for authorities to shut down a business when so many stakeholders are involved—including customers who have invested money into this online retailer of cannabis products (both legal and illegal).

Conclusion

The SEC is still investigating Yuga Labs to determine whether it should file charges against the company. However, there may be a reason to believe that Yuga Labs is a fraud. The company’s top investors are still holding on to their shares, and its accounting practices have been questioned. We’ll keep you updated as this story develops!
