Abra Kadabra! In tega ni več.

Cryptocurrency investment company Odpri has been issued an nujna prekinitev in opustitev ukaza 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.

Po podatkih Texas Securities State Board je 12. maja 2021 Texas Enforcement Division izdal opozorilo Barhydtu, da se zdi, da izdelki družbe Plutus Financial predstavljajo naložbene pogodbe ali vrednostne papirje. Država je ustanovila delovno skupino za nadaljnjo preiskavo podjetja za kriptovalute.

Abra je poskušala nasprotovati tej karakterizaciji v svojem trženju.

“Earn users take no investment-like risks when they deposit digital assets into Interest accounts,” the company rečeno lani. “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 Digitalni Voyager in Celzijeva mreža.

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

Abra also allegedly held or currently holds nearly $30 million on Babel Finance, $30 million (or more) on Genesis, 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 Binance, according to authorities. As of February this year, balances for Abra on the platform are valued at roughly $118 million.

Kljub opozorilu je podjetje še naprej ponujalo in prodajalo naložbene produkte – prek Abra Earn in Abra Boost – do približno 3. oktobra 2022, so sporočili regulatorji.

Abra ni takoj odgovorila na prošnjo za komentar Dešifrirajte 

Poleg ponudbe in prodaje naložbenih pogodb, ki spominjajo na vrednostne papirje, delovna skupina trdi tudi, da je Abra "dala ponudbe, ki vsebujejo izjave, ki so bistveno zavajajoče ali bi drugače lahko zavajale javnost."

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

Od 17. maja 2023 Abra zahteva 49 milijonov dolarjev sredstev v upravljanju (AUM) v imenu 229 vlagateljev Boost, od katerih jih je 23 s sedežem v Teksasu. Podjetje prav tako trdi, da ima v lasti 66 milijonov dolarjev v imenu 9087 vlagateljev Earn, od katerih jih 827 prebiva v državi osamljene zvezde.

This is not the first time federal charges have been brought against Abra. In July 2020, the SEC je zaračunal the company with selling security-based swaps without registration. Similarly, the CFTC zaračunan 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.

Organi zvezne države Teksas niso določili datuma uradnega zaslišanja, so pa strankam zaenkrat dovolili dvig sredstev s platforme.
