Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Kristin N. Johnson: Increase Investor Protection By Stopping Bitcoin Investment Fund Fraud

Date 27/09/2023

Today the CFTC announced that it filed a complaint in the Southern District of Florida against Sean Michael and his company Mosaic Exchange Ltd. The complaint alleges that the Defendants solicited and successfully convinced investors to send their bitcoin and other funds to Mosaic under the guise that Mosaic would enter into futures, swaps, and leveraged spot transactions in cryptocurrency on behalf of the investors. The entire scheme was a sham, a virtual house of cards. According to the complaint, Defendants falsely represented their experience, track record, and profitability trading digital asset derivatives, falsely claimed that Mosaic was a digital asset trading platform, and falsely touted their use of a proprietary trading algorithm. Based on these (mis)representations, customers entrusted the Defendants with hundreds of thousands of dollars. All too quickly, these unsuspecting investors discovered that their hard-earned wealth had evaporated alongside their trust in Defendants’ representations.
