Luckin Coffee Inc. has agreed to pay $180 million to settle regulatory claims that it cooked its books to make growth appear more robust and meet earnings targets.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the penalty on Wednesday, eight months after the Chinese company disclosed that some of its officers fabricated sales in 2019. Luckin neither admitted nor denied the SEC's fraud claims, which were filed in Manhattan federal court. The settlement is subject to a federal judge's approval.
