SEC charges crypto trading platforms and investment clubs over $14 million scam

Key Takeaways

  • The SEC announced charges against seven entities involved in alleged crypto-related investment fraud, including three fake trading platforms and four investment clubs.
  • The groups, operating through online messaging applications, used AI-generated tips and false government licensing claims to lure investors.

The US SEC has charged crypto trading platforms Morocoin Tech, Berge Blockchain Technology, and Cirkor, as well as four related investment clubs, accusing them of running a coordinated crypto investment fraud that diverted at least $14 million from retail investors.

According to the complaint, the investment clubs, including AI Wealth, Lane Wealth, AI Investment Education Foundation, and Zenith Asset Tech Foundation, utilized WhatsApp and social media platforms to establish investor trust and promote purported AI-generated trading strategies.

Investors were allegedly persuaded to open accounts on associated crypto trading platforms that claimed to be licensed and legitimate. These platforms promoted fictitious Security Token Offerings and nonexistent issuing companies, while preventing legitimate withdrawals and imposing fraudulent advance fees.

The SEC is seeking injunctions, civil penalties, and disgorgement against the defendants.

Mind Reading: Tay And Taylor Lautner Are Growing Their Mental Health Platform

The post Mind Reading: Tay And Taylor Lautner Are Growing Their Mental Health Platform appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Lautners on the set of their podcast The Squeeze Chanelle Whitacre When life gave them lemons, Tay and Taylor Lautner decided to double down on mental health aid. The couple—one who’s spent the lion’s share of his life in the celebrity spotlight and the other who was working as a hospital nurse at the outset of Covid—realized their shared passion for destigmatizing and supporting mental health during the pandemic through their own personal experiences. “Obviously Taylor has been in the spotlight for a very long time and Covid was the time for him to sit and think. And we both kindof were dealing with our mental health at the same time, even though at completely different ends of the spectrum. I think it’s really cool that we got to do it together because we’ve really learned how to rely on the other,” Tay Lautner says. “I went through a few months of just becoming kindof a shell of a human and not realizing it because there’s no time to think about yourself when there are people who are dying. It didn’t really hit me until one day Taylor pointed it out to me. He was like, ‘Hey, are you OK?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, you know, I just worked three nights in a row and I’m tired but I’m fine.’ And he said, ‘No, are you really doing OK though?’ That was the first time I had ever been asked that or ever really thought about checking in with myself.” After a difficult decision to leave her position when round-the-clock immersion in crisis and a bout with Covid took a significant toll on her mental health, Lautner says she knew she’d found a new calling. The result? Her founding of The Lemons Foundation, the pair launching a podcast…
