Netcapital charged by US SEC with fraud for allegedly inflating revenue
Reuters reports the SEC charged Netcapital (NCPL) with securities fraud, alleging it overstated revenue by nearly $14 million from consulting agreements with co-founder John Fanning. The SEC claims some agreements were forged and produced no real revenue, helping Netcapital more than quadruple reported revenue while raising investor funds. Netcapital said Nasdaq gave it until Feb. 1, 2027 to regain compliance.
