The alleged operators of my large play were ordered to pay around $ 25.8 million in fines to the Comedity Futures Trading Commission for their roles in the crypto program.
The CFTC said on Wednesday that a judge of the Federal Court of Massachusetts had rendered a default judgment ordering My Big Coin Pay, Inc., My Big Coin, Inc., and its managers, Mark Gillespie and John Roche, to pay $ 19.32 million in civilian monetary whip and $ 6.44 million to investors they claim.
Gillespie, Roche and companies have also been prohibited from participating in the markets or carrying out other activities related to the market which fall under the jurisdiction of the CFTC.
My large room has fraudd $ 6 million, says CFTC.
The CFTC said that Gillespie, Roche, and another operator, Randall Crater, requested investors through my large play (MBC) from January 2014 to June 2017, fraud 28 investors out of more than $ 6 million.
The regulator’s file against an alleged operator, Michael Kruger, was abandoned because of his death.
The CFTC said that the defendants have requested investors under false pretexts and have made “false and deceptive complaints and omissions on the value, use and commercial status of MBC, and that MBC was supported by gold.”

The CFTC warned the fraud investors that they may not recover their money “because criminals may not have enough funds or assets”.
Crater ordered the allegedly defrauded investors
Earlier this year, the court ordered the crater to pay $ 7.6 million to investors it would have fraud.
In February 2024, a court of appeal rejected Crater a new trial, because his legal team had declared that the Court had violated its rights to the sixth amendment.
On January 31, 2023, Crater was sentenced to more than eight years in prison after being sentenced in July 2022 by a large jury for four leaders of wire fraud, three charges of illegal monetary transactions and an operating manager of a money transmission company without license.
