The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced on Aug. 10, 2026 that it charged Adit Ventures Management LLC, its CEO Eric Munson, and affiliated general partners Adit Ventures LLC, Adit Ventures II LLC, and Adit Ventures III LLC with defrauding investors in connection with pre-IPO share investments, including SpaceX and Klarna, from at least April 2019 through December 2024. The SEC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges misappropriation of client assets, undisclosed principal transactions, unauthorized "acquisition fees," improper pledging of client assets for a $10 million line of credit, and failure by Adit Ventures Management to register as an investment adviser. Without admitting the allegations, the defendants consented to a judgment, subject to court approval, agreeing to permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty in an amount to be determined by the court; Munson also agreed to a forthcoming associational bar with a right to apply for reentry after three years. The SEC stated it appreciates the assistance of the Jersey Financial Services Commission.
