On January 30, the SEC announced its action against an allegedly
fraudulent ICO initiated by a cryptocurrency banking platform. The
SEC detailed how the company "falsely stated that it purchased
an FDIC-insured bank" and failed "to disclose the
criminal background of key executives." The SEC obtained an
emergency freeze order from the court, which also appointed a
receiver to handle and manage all assets of the company, including
the digital cryptocurrency assets, while the case is resolved. For
