Government Action

Securities and Exchange Commission v Blockvest LLC

The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.

On February 14, 2019 Blockvest LLC and its founder Reginald Buddy Ringgold III, aka Rasool Abdul Rahim El, entered into an Order with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Order settles allegations that the business and its founder used the SEC seal without permission, they falsely claimed that their crypto fund was "licensed and regulated," they promoted the initial coin offering with a fake regulatory agency he created "the Blockchain Exchange Commission," and provided fraudulent offers and sales of securities. Under terms of the order, the business and founder are preliminary enjoined from offering or selling any securities by the use of any means of: employing any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud; to obtain money or property by means of any untrue statement of a material fact; or to engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the purchaser. 

This action is final.

Also by employing devices, schemes or artifices to defraud; engaging in acts, practices, or courses of business which operated or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon other persons; obtaining money or property by means of material misrepresentations and omissions to investors and prospective investors regarding the business; the business participated in activities with the principal purpose and effect of creating a false appearance.
