If you purchased GTV common stock and/or the digital asset security referred to as G-Coins or G-Dollars between April 2020 and June 2020, you may be eligible for a distribution payment from the GTV Media Group Fair Fund
SEATTLE, April 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

JND Legal Administration announces that on September 13, 2021, the U.S. 
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued an Order instituting and 
simultaneously settling cease-and-desist proceedings against Respondents GTV 
Media Group, Inc. ("GTV"), Saraca Media Group, Inc. ("Saraca"), and Voice of 
Guo Media, Inc.  In the Order, the SEC found that from approximately April 2020 
through June 2020, Respondents generally solicited thousands of individuals to 
invest in the GTV Common Stock offering.  The SEC further found that during the 
same period, GTV and Saraca ("the G Entities") also solicited individuals to 
invest in the Digital Asset offering.  According to the Order, as a result of 
these two unregistered securities offerings, whose proceeds were commingled, 
Respondents collectively raised approximately $487 million from more than 5,000 
investors, including individuals in the United States. The SEC ordered the 
Respondents to pay $486,745,063 in disgorgement, plus prejudgment interest of 
$17,688,365 and $35,000,000 in civil money penalties, for a total of 
$539,433,428, to the SEC.  The SEC also created the Fair Fund, pursuant to 
Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, so the penalties paid, along 
with the disgorgement and interest paid, can be distributed to harmed 
investors. To date, the Respondents have paid a total of $455,439,194.49.  Any 
additional funds collected from the Respondents pursuant to the Order will be 
added to the Fair Fund.  The Fair Fund has been deposited at the United States 
Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service ("BFS") for 
investment.

      -	GTV Common Stock [4/20/2020 through 6/2/2020]; and

On October 14, 2021, the SEC appointed Miller Kaplan Arase LLP as Tax 
Administrator.  The SEC also appointed JND Legal Administration as Fund
