The charges, which include allegations that Comscore made "false and misleading statements about key performance metrics," is the latest setback for the embattled company, the media-measurement firm co-founded by Chicago tech investor Gian Fulgoni. As part of a settlement agreement, Reston, Va.-based Comscore and Matta agreed to penalties of $5 million and $700,000 respectively, "without admitting or denying the orders' findings," the SEC stated. Matta also agreed to reimburse Comscore for $2.1 million. He is also barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 10 years.
