The SEC won a lawsuit against a cryptocurrency scam and was awarded $1.1 million.
Gate News bot news, on June 3, a federal court judge in Georgia made a favorable default judgment for the SEC in the case of the cryptocurrency fraud lawsuit against Keith Crews. Crews failed to respond to the lawsuit filed by the SEC in August 2023 and did not present any defense.
The SEC charged Cruz with conducting a cryptocurrency fraud scheme through his companies Four Square Biz and Stem Biotech from October 2019 to May 2021.
The SEC stated that he raised at least $800,000 by selling a so-called "Stemy Coin" "encryption asset security" to approximately 200 investors, and many investors were "solicited through relationships with African American and church communities."
Judge Tiffany Johnson ruled that Crews must pay over $1.1 million in fines, determining that he should return the $530,000 in net profits obtained from his alleged misconduct, and ordered him to pay nearly $51,000 in pre-judgment interest and a $530,000 civil penalty.
