The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Donald G. Basile, founder of Bitcoin Latinum (LTNM), along with GIBF GP and Monsoon Blockchain, for allegedly raising approximately $16 million through a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT) and engaging in fraudulent activities. The SEC claims that the defendants falsely marketed LTNM as the "world's first insured digital asset" with insurance coverage up to $1 billion and as an "asset-backed cryptocurrency," despite lacking any insurance or asset backing. Furthermore, the SEC alleges that over 80% of the funds were promised to support the token's value but were instead diverted for personal use, including real estate, credit card expenses, and the purchase of a $160,000 horse.
