Judge enters consented judgments against Adit Ventures and founder
Settlement
On August 11, 2026, a federal judge in the Southern District of New York entered judgments against Adit Ventures founder Eric Munson and four affiliated entities. The defendants consented to the judgments without admitting the allegations. The judgments permanently bar future violations of the federal securities laws at issue. Disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties are to be set later.
Company response
Denial — Eric Munson
Munson denies the allegations. In a statement issued through a representative, he said he agreed to settle to avoid the cost of prolonged litigation rather than as any concession that the claims have merit.

The judgments permanently bar the defendants from future violations of the federal securities laws at issue, including the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Advisers Act.
On August 11, a federal judge in the Southern District of New York entered judgments against Adit Ventures founder Eric Munson and the four affiliated entities.
The complaint alleges the firm told investors it needed capital immediately to pursue pre-IPO opportunities, then used it for other purposes, including "misappropriating money directly" and taking unsecured loans from the funds on terms the SEC says favored the firm.
