Stoner Cats NFT SEC Fair Fund -- File a Claim by May 23, 2026

What happened

Class period: July 27, 2021 (the single offering date -- only purchases made in the original Stoner Cats 2 offering qualify; secondary market purchases are not covered)

• On July 27, 2021, Stoner Cats 2, LLC sold 10,320 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) called Stoner Cats to the public -- including U.S. investors -- at 0.35 ETH each (approximately $800 at the time); the offering sold out in 35 minutes and generated approximately $8.2 million in gross proceeds
• On September 13, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an order finding that Stoner Cats 2 conducted an unregistered offering of crypto assets offered and sold as securities, in violation of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933
• The SEC determined that Stoner Cats 2 was required to, but did not, register the offer and sale of the NFTs with the Commission, and that no exemption from registration was available
• The SEC ordered Stoner Cats 2 to pay a $1,000,000 civil money penalty and created a Fair Fund under Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, so that the penalty collected can be distributed back to harmed investors
• Stoner Cats 2 has paid the penalty in full; the Fair Fund has been deposited in a Commission-designated account at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, with accrued interest to be added to the fund
