In a contentious move, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently sued Kik Interactive Inc. for its Initial Coin Offering of $100 million, alleging it violated securities laws by not registering the offering with the SEC.

The SEC alleges that the fundraising of $100 million was illegal because it did not provide proper disclosures to investors.

Kik has launched a crowdfunding site to help raise money to defend against the suit.
