Abra Kadabra! Ja see on läinud.

Cryptocurrency investment company avatud has been issued an hädaolukorra lõpetamise ja lõpetamise käsk by Texas securities regulators.

Authorities claim the cryptocurrency company, also known as Plutus Financial, and Chief Executive Officer Bill Barhydt have engaged in securities fraud. The enforcement order also states it offered investment products to unaccredited investors and that the company has been at least partially insolvent since March 31, 2023.

Texas Securities State Boardi andmetel andis Texase jõustamisosakond 12. mail 2021 Barhydtile hoiatuse, et Plutus Financiali tooted näivad olevat investeerimislepingud või väärtpaberid. Riik moodustas töörühma krüptorahafirma edasiseks uurimiseks.

Abra on püüdnud oma turunduses sellele iseloomustusele vastu vaielda.

“Earn users take no investment-like risks when they deposit digital assets into Interest accounts,” the company ütles eelmisel aastal. “Rather, Earn users are simply moving or placing their existing assets into their Interest Accounts with the possibility of receiving interest, but notably, no risk of an investment-type loss.”

Investigations reveal, however, that Plutus Financial has been “touting” their risk management strategy as compared to the now-defunct Digitaalne reisija ja Celsiuse võrk.

The order also states that despite a letter from CEO Bill Barhydt, claiming the company had no exposure to the FTX-i kokkuvarisemine, a subsidiary of Plutus Financial did have more than $12 million in assets on the platform run by Sam Bankman Praetud.

Abra also allegedly held or currently holds nearly $30 million on Babeli rahandus, $30 million (or more) on Teke, and roughly $10 million on Three Arrows Capital (3AC). All three of those companies have been touched by bankruptcy in the past year.

Last, but certainly not least, Texas state authorities claim that Abra has been winding down their Earn product, and transferring assets to Trade accounts. The company has been “secretly transferring” these funds to Binants, according to authorities. As of February this year, balances for Abra on the platform are valued at roughly $118 million.

Hoiatusest hoolimata jätkas ettevõte investeerimistoodete pakkumist ja müümist – Abra Earni ja Abra Boosti kaudu – kuni ligikaudu 3. oktoobrini 2022, teatasid reguleerivad asutused.

Abra ei vastanud kohe kommentaaritaotlusele Lahtikrüptimine. 

Lisaks väärtpabereid meenutavate investeerimislepingute pakkumisele ja müümisele väidab töörühm ka, et Abra "tegi pakkumisi, mis sisaldasid sisuliselt eksitavaid või muul viisil avalikkust pettatavaid väiteid."

Abra states Prime Trust as their main custodian, which according to Texas authorities, does not operate with a money transmitter license in the state.

17. mai 2023 seisuga nõuab Abra 49 Boosti investori nimel 229 miljonit dollarit hallatavate varade (AUM) eest, millest 23 asuvad Texases. Ettevõte väidab ka omavat 66 miljonit dollarit 9087 Earni investori nimel, kellest 827 elavad üksikus täheosariigis.

This is not the first time federal charges have been brought against Abra. In July 2020, the SEC laetud the company with selling security-based swaps without registration. Similarly, the CFTC laetud the company with engaging in illegal off-exchange swaps with overseas customers, namely from the Philippines. The company paid $300,000 for these two penalties.

Texase osariigi ametivõimud pole ametliku ärakuulamise kuupäeva määranud, kuid on lubanud klientidel esialgu platvormilt raha välja võtta.
