Moving to Russia did not help: US court fined Steven Seagal $ 200
Hollywood actor Steven Seagal found that even moving to Russia does not mean he is out of reach of US courts, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) won a case against him. Writes about it Financial Post.
A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York said the SEC could go to Segal's business manager and try to get more than $ 200, which the actor owes the US government for failing to disclose that he was being paid to promote a digital token.
US District Judge William Koontz signed a decree allowing the SEC to enforce the remaining fines and interest. According to a letter from Maureen Peyton King, a SEC lawyer, Segal agreed to pay more than $ 330 in compensation, but the actor made only one payment of $ 000 and was late for the remainder.

Segal agreed to settle commission charges that he was promised $ 250 in cash and $ 000 in tokens to promote the initial coin offering for Bitcoiin750Gen. In social media posts, Segal urged fans not to miss the offer. The actor settled the charges without admitting or denying wrongdoing.
According to the commission, Sigal, who now lives in Moscow, did not respond to repeated demands from the SEC after making his initial payment. In 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree granting the actor Russian citizenship.
