SEC Details Enforcement Objectives of New Cyber Unit
Bitcoin News reports that the co-director of the United States Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC)’s Division of Enforcement, Stephanie Avakian, has outlined the mission and enforcement aims of the regulator’s recently formed Cyber Unit and Retail Strategy Task Force.
Looks like the Retail Strategy Task Force “will not generally be responsible for conducting investigations."
So what will they be doing? No, that's a serious question, I just read the article and all I got was a bunch of buzz words about related to protecting retail investors.

Japan’s Financial Authority Clarifies Stance on Initial Coin Offerings
The Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) has issued a statement regarding initial coin offerings (ICOs) and dicussed how two existing laws may apply to token sales.
The first risk outlines by Japan's FSA concerns price volatility, and the second risk being “potential for fraud.”
Bitcoin News reports that the FSA warned that goods and services outlined in ICOs’ whitepapers may not be realized, adding that:
"You should have a deal [invest] at your own risk only after understanding enough the risks above and the content of an ICO project if you buy a token. You should also pay careful attention to suspicious solicitation of ICOs."
I really like the FSA warnings and may have to use them myself in the future.

A nice short read by Fred Wilson.
TL:DR - Fred read a Nathaniel Popper piece in the NY Times today about celebrities endorsing ICOs and it made him want to throw up.
