Randall Crater, founder of My Big Coin and MBC crypto, is being charged with four counts of wire fraud and three counts of unlawful monetary transactions.
A court in Massachusetts has backed the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in their interpretation of virtual currencies as commodities (and thus within the regulator’s jurisdiction), in the process dismissing a petition from the My Big Coin’s promoters to have the case set aside.
The legal challenge concerns a relatively unknown cryptocurrency, My Big Coin, which the CFTC alleges has been involved in a fraud estimated at $6 million.
