A United States federal judge sided partially with the SEC, finding that Opporty and its founder, Sergii Grybniak, offered “unregistered securities” in a 2018 ICO.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission won a partial victory in its case against blockchain firm Opporty International and its owner — accusing them of conducting a fraudulent initial coin offering (ICO).
In a Sept. 24 memorandum, US District Judge Eric Komitee said the SEC had proved enough of its claim that Opporty and its owner Sergii Grybniak had unlawfully offered the sale of unregistered securities in the US.
