The Texas State Securities Board has stopped a network of Utah-based crypto-related companies from making fraudulent investment offers in the state. The board issued a cease-and-desist order on Wednesday against five companies and three individuals, all of which have addresses in Utah and one of whom also has a Texas address.
The network of crypto companies has, among other things, been promoting investments in cryptomining firm Mintage Mining to Texas residents. According to the cease-and-desist order, advertisements for the firms claim that Mintage “mines the right coin at the right time” and “evaluates the current cryptocurrency market and strategically picks the best coin to mine.” Mintage offered rental-share agreements for investors in its cryptomining programs.
The ads also tout the success of one respondent, Wyatt McCullough, and his uncle who made profits of 500% in seven weeks and 4,000% in 10 weeks, respectively. The ads also declare that investments in cryptomining are “the safest way to make money from crypto.”
