The Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a lawsuit against Stephen Ehrlich, the former CEO of the now-defunct cryptocurrency lender Voyager Digital, on Thursday for deceiving the platform’s users about the security of their holdings. The CFTC also naładowany Ehrlicha z oszustwami i błędami rejestracyjnymi w związku z prowadzeniem niezarejestrowanej grupy towarów.

Agencja planuje wystąpić o stałe zakazy handlu i rejestracji, wypłaty środków, restytucję i cywilne kary pieniężne. Komisja napisała w oświadczenie on Thursday that “Ehrlich and Voyager falsely touted the Voyager platform as a “safe haven” to earn high-yield returns to induce customers to purchase and store digital asset commodities.”

Według dyrektora ds. egzekwowania prawa CFTC, Iana McGinleya:

While representing that they would treat customers’ digital asset commodities safely and responsibly, behind the scenes, they took shockingly reckless risks with their customers’ assets, leading to Voyager’s bankruptcy and huge customer losses. When their business began to collapse, they continued lying to their customers, concealing Voyager’s true financial health.

In a parallel action, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had struck an agreement with Voyager “that will permanently ban it from handling consumers’ assets” and had sued Ehrlich for erroneously claiming that Voyager accounts were “safe” and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The proposed settlement will see Voyager and its affiliate pay a $1.65 billion fee.

The charges claim that Ehrlich illegally transferred millions of dollars from Voyager to his wife, Francine, who was listed as a relief defendant in the FTC lawsuit. The focus of both lawsuits was Ehrlich’s misleading statements about Voyager’s financial situation in 2022.

Voyager był jedną z wyróżniających się platform pożyczkowych do kryptowalut przed upadkiem latem 2022 roku. W szczytowym okresie Voyager obiecywał klientom zyski rzędu 12% na ich aktywach.

Voyager filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2022, citing unfavorable market conditions. The case remains unresolved as of this writing. However, the bankruptcy court approved Voyager’s repayment plan in May.

Amerykańskie organy regulacyjne podjęły działania egzekucyjne przeciwko kilku firmom kryptograficznym i ich założycielom. CFTC i FTX toczą się sprawy przeciwko dyrektorom ds. kryptowalut, takim jak byli dyrektorzy generalni Celsjusza i FTX, Alex Mashinsky i Sam Bankman-Fried.
