SEC Charges California Man with Fraud for False Posts on Twitter

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it has charged a California-based trader for an alleged fraud scheme in which he spread false information about a defunct company on Twitter. Andrew L. Fassari, or @OCMillionaire on Twitter, tweeted false statements about Arcis Resources Corporation during December 2020, shortly after purchasing over 41 million shares of the stock, the SEC said in a complaint.
