Meta 1 Coin Fraud:
The SEC alleges that the three accused told investors that the digital assets were backed by a technical pool of $1 billion or $2 billion in gold.
However, the investors never received the promised cryptocurrency, nor did they see their money back.
Investors were also told that Meta 1 Coin is risk-free and cannot lose value.
David Beefler, regional director of the SEC’s Fort Worth office, said in a statement:
The defendants made bold claims about the Meta 1 coin and said almost anything to take investors’ money.
Investors should always look suspiciously at promoters who claim that their investments cannot lose value or that investors will receive huge returns.
The complaint was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Western District of Texas this week, and charges were brought against the Meta 1 Coin Trust and those behind it:
Dunlap, Baudler, and Schmidt.
As for the substance of the charges, it was a violation of the provisions of anti-fraud and the sale of securities without registration.
“David Schmidt”, a Republican, began his political career in the House of Representatives in Washington in 1994 and served as a senator from 2003 to 2010, but his end was an end that did not suit his career path.
