Part 4/7:
Journalistic investigations have shed light on Cuomo’s advisory roles that raise questions of transparency and conflicts of interest:
Cryptocurrency Advisory: Bloomberg reported in April that Cuomo provided advice to a crypto exchange based in the Seychelles during federal investigations into the firm. This raises concerns about the appropriateness and transparency of his involvement in the cryptocurrency space.
Financial Disclosures Controversy: Politico revealed that Cuomo failed to disclose $2.6 million in stock options to the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board. Cuomo’s claim that the stocks were owned by his LLC did not satisfy the scrutiny of the authorities or journalists, highlighting potential issues with financial transparency.
