US authorities, including FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) moved against 1pool Ltd., owner of 1Broker, for allegedly breaking federal securities laws by carrying out a security swap operation funded with Bitcoins.
An undercover FBI agent was able to buy some security-based swaps on the 1Broker platform without meeting “the discretionary investment thresholds required by the federal securities laws”, is said in a SEC press release.
