The U.S. SEC sues a Texas man for allegedly participating in a $12.3 million cryptocurrency scam

By: rootdata|2026/05/30 01:42:39

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the indictment of Texas resident Nathan Fuller, accusing him of committing fraud through a cryptocurrency trading scheme, raising approximately $12.3 million from about 150 investors. The SEC pointed out that Fuller sold related investment products to investors through entities such as Privvy Investments from October 2022 to mid-2024, claiming to use a self-developed AI trading robot for high-frequency arbitrage trading in cryptocurrency assets.

According to the indictment, Fuller promised investors returns of over 40%-50% within 30 to 45 days and claimed that guaranteed returns of over 100% could be achieved in as little as 21 days. The SEC stated that the AI trading robot did not operate as advertised, Fuller misappropriated at least $6.2 million of investor funds for personal expenses, and used approximately $5.5 million for payouts similar to a Ponzi scheme, while misleading investors through forged account statements and false documents.
