The journalists drew attention to the inconsistency of the data indicated by Eric Adams when submitting the annual mandatory financial form to the Council for the Settlement of Conflicts of Interest. A representative of the mayor Fabien Levy told the press that Adams did not indicate his shares in bitcoins and ether because he misunderstood the question asked in the report form and believed that it related only to the ownership of securities.
The mayor of New York promises to amend his financial disclosure form in the near future, including data on the ownership of crypto assets. The mayor’s representative refused to provide the media with information about the value of cryptocurrency assets owned by Eric Adams.
