The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officially accused Novatech, along with its founders Cynthia and Eddy Petion, and promoters of promoting fraud on August 12, 2024. The SEC alleged that Novatech engaged in a Ponzi scheme, raising over $650 million from more than 200,000 investors globally. The founders claimed to invest these funds in digital assets and foreign exchange markets for their clients, promising immediate profits. However, only a small portion of the funds were used for trading, with the majority going towards compensating earlier investors and promoters. The SEC also stated that the founders misused some funds for personal gain, impacting New York City's Haitian community. The regulatory agency is seeking legal action, including penalties and the return of investor funds. Additionally, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Novatech, alleging a Ponzi scheme and fraudulent practices.

SEC's Legal Battle with HEX Founder Richard Heart

Friday. August 23 at 10:00 PM

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has opposed Hex (HEX) founder Richard Heart's attempt to dismiss its $1 billion securities lawsuit, asserting its authority to pursue the case. The SEC argued that Heart's motion to dismiss disregarded the allegations and applicable laws in the complaint. Heart claimed the SEC had no jurisdiction over him as he resides abroad and has not visited the US during the relevant period. However, the SEC countered by stating that Heart targeted US investors through promotional activities for HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX. The regulator also accused Heart of misusing investor funds for personal luxury items. Despite Heart's claims of no deceptive conduct, the SEC maintained that he illegally sold securities and violated federal securities laws. The legal battle is ongoing, with the next hearing scheduled for October 24.
