SEC ignores Paul Pelosi but charges 11 in alleged $300 million crypto Ponzi scheme

The SEC is taking a dim view of cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes

  • The agency has charged 11 people
  • 11 people for their roles in creating and promoting an allegedly fraudulent crypto/Ponzi scheme called Forsage.
  • Forsage was billed as a decentralized smart contract platform which allowed millions of retail investors to make transactions through smart contracts that operated on several blockchains including Ethereum, Tron, and Ethereum Classic.
  • However, behind the scenes, the SEC alleges that for more than two years the scheme operated like your run-of-the-mill pyramid setup whereby investors earned profits by recruiting others to take part.

Four of the 11 people charged are founders of Forsage

  • Where they are located currently is not known, but their last known locations were Russia, the Georgia republic and Indonesia
  • In addition, the stock watch agency also charged three U.S.-based promoters who touted Forsage on their social media platforms

Paul Pelosi bought stock in NVIDIA just as Congress was debating a bill that would provide billions of dollars in subsidies for American chip makers

  • Republicans are vowing to investigate the Pelosis and their perfectly timed stock trading
  • Kevin McCarthy, who is likely to become Speaker if the GOP retakes control of the House, said there will be an investigation into Pelosis
