Title: Suspicion of fraud using crypto currency Post by: sayas-wood on January 21, 2018, 02:51:54 AM US regulator suspects American businessmen of fraud using crypto currency
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission suspects three US companies of involvement in fraudulent schemes related to crypto-currencies. Companies are credited with fraud and misappropriation of Bitcoin and Litecoin. The commission filed on Thursday in the District Court of New York a request for coercive measures against three separate crypto-currency companies from allegedly deceived customers and violation of trade rules. The agency reported two frauds on its website on Friday. The first case concerns a resident of Colorado Dillon Michael Dean and his UK-based company The Entrepreneurs Headquarters Limited. From April 2017 to the present, they have requested about 1,1 million dollars in the equivalent of Bitcoin from more than 600 members of the public, promising to convert them into currency and invest in binary options. Dean claims to have "skills" in option trading, and a large profit was promised to customers.
