The SEC has announced his latest verdict against BitConnect on the official website. The agency announced that the United States Southern District Court has ruled against Glenn Arcaro (the project’s top promoter).

It’s worth noting that due to his association with BitConnect – one of the most controversial Ponzi programs – he previously pleaded guilty to the “wire transfer fraud conspiracy”.

The SEC’s first complaint against Arcaro came in early September, when the watchdog filed a lawsuit against founder Satish Kumbhani and top promoter Glenn Arcaro and his sister company.

The commission alleged that all parties digitally defrauded retail investors of approximately $ 2 billion through “a fraudulent and unregistered global investment offering for an asset-based system”.

Following the convictions of the defendants, they will be sentenced to payment of interest, fines, and civil penalties at the rates established by the court and approved by the SEC.

The regulator has been looking for BitConnect employees for quite some time. At that time, the agency filed a lawsuit against five people associated with the project for advertising and selling unregistered securities, including Trevon Brown (aka Trevon James), Craig Grant, Ryan Maasen, Michael Noble (aka Michael Crypto), and Joshua Jeppesen.

“We will try to hold those accountable who inappropriately benefit from exploiting the public interest in digital assets,” the SEC said at the time.

A few months later, the agency reached an agreement with three BitConnect promoters, Joshua Jeppesen, Michael Noble and Laura Mascola. You have to pay more than $ 12 million in bitcoin and fiat.
