The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has received an additional emergency court order to freeze the assets of Dominic Lacroix, owner of PlexCorps, in an ongoing enforcement action, Crowdfund Insider reported June 20.
The SEC had previously sued Lacroix for securities fraud and received an emergency asset freeze order in December, 2017.
The SEC alleges that, since December, Lacroix has been using secret accounts, including an account in his brother’s name which he controlled, to dissipate assets obtained from investors with the PlexCoin ICO.
According to the SEC, PlexCorps promised investors a 1,354 percent return in just 29 days.
The three co-founders of cryptocurrency startup Centra Tech were formally indicted in May for running a fraudulent ICO, with charges of securities fraud, wire fraud, and two conspiracy counts.
