New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday announced a settlement with CoinEx&nbsp;(CRYPTO: CET), a Hong Kong-based virtual currency trading platform the state sued earlier this year for <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/214174/new-york-attorney-general-sues-coinex-crypto-exchange-over-registration">failing</a> to register.
As part of the agreement, CoinEx must refund nearly 5,000 New York investors a total of $1.2 million and pay more than $600,000 in penalties. The company is banned from offering securities and commodities in New York and prohibited from making its platform available in the state.
&quot;Unregistered crypto platforms pose a risk to investors, consumers, and the broader economy,&quot; James said in a <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2023/attorney-general-james-recovers-17-million-cryptocurrency-platform-operating">statement</a>. &quot;Today&#39;s agreement should serve as a warning to crypto companies that there are hefty consequences for ignoring New York&#39;s laws. My office will continue to crack down on crypto companies that brazenly disregard the law, mislead investors, and put New Yorkers at risk.&quot;
<h3>New York&#39;s crypto crackdown&nbsp;</h3>
James has <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/229690/new-york-crypto-bill">escalated</a> her office&#39;s crackdown on the crypto industry this year and last month introduced proposed legislation that could force companies to refund customers who are victims of fraud. She has also sued KuCoin, along with former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky.
New York state has one of the toughest regulatory regimes for crypto companies in the U.S. with its BitLicense that&#39;s overseen by the state&#39;s Department of Financial Services.
James renewed her call on Thursday for New Yorkers &quot;affected by deceptive conduct in virtual assets&quot; to report issues to state authorities.&nbsp;
&quot;Attorney General James also encourages workers in the cryptocurrency industry who may have witnessed misconduct or fraud to file an online whistleblower complaint with her office,&quot; her office said.&nbsp;

Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Wednesday

On May 19, 2021, Central Secs (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CET#AMEX">CET</a>) declared a dividend payable on June 25, 2021 to its shareholders. Central Secs also announced that shareholders on the company's books on or before June 14, 2021 are entitled to the dividend. The stock will then go ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. Central Secs has an ex-dividend date set for for June 11, 2021. The company's current dividend payout is $0.2, which equates to a dividend yield of 0.99% at current price levels. 
<h2>What Are Ex-Dividend Dates?</h2>
An ex-dividend date is when a company's shares stop trading with its current dividend payout in preparation for the company to announce a new one. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Typically, companies will announce and implement new dividend yields on a quarterly basis. 
<h2>Understanding Central Secs's Dividend History</h2>
Over the past year, Central Secs has experienced no change regarding its dividend payouts and a downward trend regarding its yields. Last year on June 7, 2019 the company's payout was $0.2, which has returned to its value today. Central Secs's dividend yield last year was 1.0%, which has since decreased by 0.01%. 
Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.
