The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it has charged the $1.7 billion HyperFund scam with fraud and unregistered securities offerings. The SEC said in a press release on Monday that from June 2020 to early 2022, Xue Lee and Brenda Chunga, known respectively as Sam Lee and Bitcoin Beautee, raised more than $1.7 billion from global investors. Lee and Chunga promoted HyperFund as an opportunity to invest in a profitable crypto mining operation, but in reality, it was a Ponzi scheme with no real source of revenue, and in 2022, the project imploded, leaving investors with heavy losses. The SEC’s press release reads: “This case once again illustrates how violations in the cryptocurrency space have fueled schemes in which promoters exploited the promise of easy money without providing the information required by the registration provisions of the federal securities laws. Detailed Investor Protection Disclosure Information.”
The SEC filed a complaint in federal district court in Maryland alleging that Lee and Chunga violated the anti-fraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland also filed criminal charges against Lee and Chunga. Chunga, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, also agreed to settle the charges and pay restitution and a civil penalty in an amount to be determined by the court.
