SEC Charges Texas Man in Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme

The SEC charged Shavers with violating the Securities Act of 1933 for unlawfully selling unregistered securities, as well as intentionally misleading and defrauding investors. Their alert provides an overview of Ponzi schemes — a fund that pays earlier investors with new investors\’ money, often promising returns far exceeding alternative opportunities. The SEC document also explains that virtual currencies may be seen as especially attractive to those looking to conduct fraud as a result of the perceived ability to remain anonymous. Importantly, the filing also notes, \”Any investment in securities in the United states remains subject to the jurisdiction of the seC regardless of whether the investment is made in U.S. dollars or a virtual currency.\”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a Texas man and his company with defrauding investors in a Ponzi scheme involving Bitcoin, a virtual currency traded on online exchanges for conventional currencies like the U.S. dollar or used to purchase goods or services online.

The SEC alleges that Shavers promised investors up to 7 percent weekly interest based on BTCST’s Bitcoin market arbitrage activity, which supposedly included selling to individuals who wished to buy Bitcoin “off the radar” in quick fashion or large quantities. In reality, BTCST was a sham and a Ponzi scheme in which Shavers used Bitcoin from new investors to make purported interest payments and cover investor withdrawals on outstanding BTCST investments.

Shavers also diverted investors’ Bitcoin for day trading in his account on a Bitcoin currency exchange, and exchanged investors’ Bitcoin for U.S. dollars to pay his personal expenses.

The SEC issued an investor alert today warning investors about the dangers of potential investment scams involving virtual currencies promoted through the Internet.

“Fraudsters are not beyond the reach of the SEC just because they use Bitcoin or another virtual currency to mislead investors and violate the federal securities laws,” said Andrew M. Calamari, Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office.

The Compliance Stage

\”There are few things scarier than the threat of the government turning off your [portfolio] business and that possibility 100 percent exists with bitcoin,\” said Matthew Witheiler, principal at Flybridge Capital Partners, and one of the four investor panelists at the pitch event. \”The bitcoin companies that win will be the ones that play by the rules.\”

A lively discussion involving some of the hottest entrepreneurs from the Bitcoin start-up scene. Panelists include Erik Vorhees, Coinapult, Nejc Kodric, Bitstamp, Jeremias Kangas, Localbitcoins.com, Jered Kenna, Tradehill, Pelle Braendgaard, Co-founder, Kipochi. The panel is moderated by Isaac Kato, Co-founder, Verne Global

\”It\’s a fantastically good thing,\” he says. \”Experimentation is wonderful. It\’s been disappointing that the overwhelming majority of altcoins have been pump and dumps or premine-type schemes.\” he calls that the first generation of coins, but thinks that the landscape for altcoins is maturing.
