Background

On September 15, 2020, the Commission issued the Order instituting and simultaneously settling cease-and-desist proceedings against the Respondent. In the Order, the Commission found that between June and October 2017, Unikrn, an operator of an online e-Sports gaming and gambling platform, conducted an Offering in two phases - a so-called pre-sale and an initial coin offering (“ICO”) - in which it raised $31 million through the sale of UKG, a digital token. Unikrn represented to investors that they would be able to access a variety of products and services with their UKG tokens, including placing bets on professional eSports and video game matches, and that over time Unikrn would make more features available. Unikrn further represented that it would facilitate a secondary trading market for the tokens and that its efforts to increase the usages for the UKG token would increase the demand for and in turn, the value of the tokens. Unikrn did not register the offer and sale of the tokens pursuant to federal securities laws, nor did the offering qualify for an exemption from the registration requirements. The Commission ordered the Respondent to pay a $6,100,000.00 civil money penalty to the Commission. The Commission also created the Fair Fund, pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, so the penalty paid can be distributed to harmed investors.

On December 17, 2020, the Commission issued an order appointing Miller Kaplan Arase LLP as the Tax Administrator of the Fair Fund. On November 20, 2025, the Commission issued an order appointing Simpluris, Inc. (“Simpluris”), as the Fund Administrator to oversee the administration and distribution of the Fair Fund and set the administrator’s bond amount.

On August 7, 2024, the Commission issued an order approving the amended proposed Plan of Distribution and published the amended approved Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”).

Copies of the Plan, the Notice, the Certification Form, and other relevant documents are available for download on the Important Documents page of this website. You may also request a copy of the Plan, the Plan Notice, and/or the Certification Form by contacting the Fund Administrator via email at info@UnikrnSECFairFund.com, or by calling 833- 360-6811.

As part of the Certification Form, the Fund Administrator will verify each Preliminary Claimant’s control over a digital or physical wallet. If, in the discretion of the Fund Administrator, a Preliminary Claimant fails to prove control over a digital or physical wallet within the allotted time he, she or it will be deemed ineligible to participate in the distribution of the Fair Fund. The Fund Administrator will have the right to request any additional information and/or documentation, including information supporting complicated transaction histories or involving certain cryptocurrency exchanges. Persons who fail to timely provide additional information as requested will be deemed ineligible. If you are not a U.S. Person, as defined in Section IV of the Certification Form, you must also submit a completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other W-8 series form, which can be found by visiting the following IRS website: www.irs.gov/forms-instructions.
