Lyft Fined $10 Million Over Icahn-Soros Deal
Lyft Inc. has settled a $10 million fine with the SEC for not disclosing a board director's role in a share sale involving billionaires Carl Icahn and George Soros, just before the company's 2019 IPO. The director, identified as Jonathan Christodoro, helped Icahn sell a 2.6% stake in Lyft to Soros at a discounted rate. Christodoro reportedly received fees for the deal and resigned from Lyft's board at the time of the transaction. The case raises questions about Lyft's transparency and disclosure practices.
