As part of the deal, the actor has agreed not to promote any securities for three years. Seagal is a U.S. national living in Moscow, the SEC said.

An SEC order said Seagal, who has agreed to pay $314,000 in disgorgement and penalties, violated anti-touting provisions of federal securities laws during the very brief amount of time he spent as "brand ambassador" for the "Bitcoiin." That Feb. 13, 2018, press release said that, "The inspiration of Bitcoiin2Gen is to make a superior or more advanced version of Original Bitcoin." The SEC said, "These promotions came six months after the SEC's 2017 DAO Report warning that coins sold in ICOs may be securities." That order noted that Bitcoiin2Gen's press release about Seagal did not disclose the nature, scope or amount of compensation paid to Seagal for his promotion of the investment. A press release issued by Bitcoiin2Gen just six weeks after Seagal's involvement in the company was announced said he was no longer serving as brand ambassador.
