NanoBit’s crypto scam ends in a $5.52M SEC victory – Here’s how

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) secured a victory against NanoBit and related entities for operating a 'pig butchering' cryptocurrency scam between September 2023 and June 2024. Scammers used messaging apps to contact victims, promoting fraudulent initial coin offerings with promises of high returns and falsely claiming SEC registration. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York issued a final judgment against two individuals and four organizations. The court found that no actual transactions occurred on the NanoBit platform, with investor funds being misappropriated and wired overseas. All defendants received permanent injunctions for violating anti-fraud securities laws. They were ordered to pay a total of approximately $5.52 million in penalties, comprising disgorgement of illicit profits, pre-judgment interest, and civil fines. NanoBit itself owes about $1.8 million. The court noted the defendants' willful default and the absence of any meritorious defense.

Hong Kong Crypto Scam Shock: Woman Loses Nearly $1 Million As AI Fraud Surges A Hong Kong woman lost HK$7.7 million (approximately $982,000) after being lured into a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment platform. The scam began on Telegram, where a person posing as an investment expert promoted an AI-powered trading strategy with guaranteed returns. After making 17 transfers of USDT and Ethereum, the victim was unable to withdraw her funds. Hong Kong Police have reported a significant surge in such online investment fraud, with over 80 cases recorded in a single week, totaling losses of nearly HK$80 million. Authorities warn that scammers are increasingly using sophisticated tactics, including promises of "AI trading" and "guaranteed profits," to appear credible. This follows a similar incident last month where a retiree lost HK$6.6 million in a multi-stage scam. Police urge the public to be cautious of unsolicited investment advice and to verify platforms through the official CyberDefender service before transferring any money. They emphasize that no legitimate investment can guarantee returns. Investigations are ongoing.

Crypto Scam: Louisiana Bitcoin ATM Protections Help Recover $200,000 – Details

A recently enacted Louisiana law has enabled the recovery of $200,000 for senior citizens targeted in a sophisticated Bitcoin ATM scam. Scammers deceived victims by falsely claiming their bank accounts were compromised and threatening them with arrest for fabricated crimes unless they made payments. The victims were then directed to Bitcoin ATMs to deposit cash into anonymous cryptocurrency wallets. New regulatory measures in Louisiana, including mandatory warning signs on machines, on-screen scam alerts during transactions, a $3,000 daily deposit limit, and a 72-hour waiting period for transfers, were instrumental in identifying the fraudulent activity and facilitating the recovery of funds. This case highlights the growing concern around cryptocurrency-related scams, prompting investigations in other states like Missouri into Bitcoin ATM operators.
