BlockFi execs, Gemini named in proposed lawsuit by a disgruntled investor

03/02 06:32

According to Cointelegraph, an investor with nearly $2 million worth of funds frozen in bankrupt cryptocurrency lender BlockFi has filed a class action complaint against its founders, two directors and crypto exchange Gemini. In a Feb. 28 complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, investor Trey Greene accused the defendants of numerous wrongdoings, including violating the consumer fraud and exchange acts, breaching its fiduciary duties, as well as offering and selling unregistered securities. “The unregistered securities sold by the BFI [BlockFi] Defendants on behalf of BlockFi were marketed and sold via a steady stream of misrepresentations and material omissions by Prince and Marquez over several years and through intermittent misrepresentations by Defendant Gemini.” Greene claims he invested over $1.5 million in interest accounts which are alleged to be unregistered securities, and accrued over $400,000 in capital gains and earned interest which was re-invested. He is currently unable to withdraw the funds, however, after BlockFi froze all withdrawals on Nov. 10, 2022 — the same day FTX filed for bankruptcy. Greene further claims that he was induced into buying the “unregistered securities” by misrepresentations from BlockFi’s founders Zac Prince and Flori Marquez that the offerings were comparable to federally-insured bank products.
