最新报道:The U.S. SEC has charged Georgia-based First Liberty and its owner, Maurice J. Thompson, with orchestrating a $140 million Ponzi scheme targeting over 1,000 investors. The scheme allegedly promised high returns from crypto mining and trading but instead used new investor funds to pay earlier investors. Thompson and his firm falsely claimed partnerships with major financial institutions and misrepresented investment risks. The SEC seeks disgorgement, penalties, and permanent injunctions. A parallel criminal case has also been filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.
