គណៈកម្មការមូលបត្រអាមេរិក បានដាក់ការចោទប្រកាន់លើបុគ្គលចំនួនប្រាំបីនាក់ ដែលជាប់ពាក់ព័ន្ធក្នុងគម្រោងគ្រីបតូ ដែលហៅថា CoinDeal យោងតាម ថ្ងៃទី ១៥ ខែមករា សេចក្តីប្រកាសព័ត៌មាន។
The SEC said in its complaint that CoinDeal founder Neil Chandran operated a fraudulent crypto investment scheme along with other individuals and groups.
ជនល្មើសរបស់ CoinDeal រៃអង្គាសប្រាក់បានជាង 45 លានដុល្លារដោយលក់មូលបត្រដែលមិនបានចុះបញ្ជីដល់វិនិយោគិន។ ពួកគេបានសន្យាថានឹងទទួលបានផលចំណេញខ្ពស់ ហើយបានទទូចថាបច្ចេកវិទ្យា blockchain របស់ CoinDeal នឹងត្រូវបានលក់ទៅឱ្យអ្នកទិញដែលមានទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិរាប់ពាន់លានដុល្លារ។
However, CoinDeal never sold the supposed blockchain technology, and no wealth was ever distributed to investors.
Daniel Gregus, the SEC’s regional director for Chicago, said:
"យើងចោទប្រកាន់ជនជាប់ចោទបានក្លែងបន្លំការចូលទៅកាន់បច្ចេកវិជ្ជា blockchain ដ៏មានតម្លៃ ហើយថាការលក់បច្ចេកវិទ្យាដែលជិតមកដល់នឹងបង្កើតផលត្រឡប់មកវិញនៃការវិនិយោគច្រើនជាង 500,000 ដងសម្រាប់អ្នកវិនិយោគ" ។
Those involved in the scheme also misused funds for personal expenses. The SEC notes that Chandran used funds to buy cars, property, and a boat. A past announcement suggests that Chandran had to forfeit at least 100 different assets.
Chandran has a long history of fraud. He was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on other charges related to CoinDeal last summer. In 2017, he was arrested in the U.S. on felony charges related to a firm called Sungame Corp. In 2015, he was charged by Canadian authorities in connection with a firm called Platinum Equities Ltd.
Today’s complaint from the SEC also names four other individuals involved in the CoinDeal scheme: Garry Davidson, Michael Glaspie, Amy Mossel, and Linda Knott. It additionally names three multi-level marketing groups: AEO Publishing Inc, Banner Co-Op, Inc, and BannersGo, LLC. The eight entities face assorted charges.
The SEC has recently undertaken numerous crypto-related cases. Yesterday, it បានប្រកាសការចោទប្រកាន់ against Cooper J. Morgenthau, a CFO who embezzled funds to invest in cryptocurrency. Today, the SEC attempted to intervene in a planned asset sale between Binance.US and Voyager Digital.
Other high-profile SEC cases over the past year have concerned FTX associate ខារ៉ូលីន អេលលីសុន, celebrity and influencer Kim Kardashian, and the lending firm ប្លុកហ្វាយហ្វាយ.
