Golden Finance reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) jointly filed a lawsuit against four crypto companies suspected of fraud and market manipulation on October 9, including Gotbit Consulting, ZM Quant Investment and CLS Global. The charges involved self-trading to manipulate the market, as well as multiple crimes related to cryptocurrencies Saitama, Robo Inu and NexFundAI. A total of nine individuals were prosecuted, and some defendants agreed to separate settlements. The investigation showed that Gotbit and its marketing director created market interest for these crypto projects through false transactions. The relevant personnel involved in this case are distributed in multiple countries, including the United States, Russia and India, reflecting the complexity and extensiveness of the case.
