Texas State Securities Board and the state's Department of Banking are going after FTX for unlicensed securities sales.
The Texas State Securities Board and the Texas Department of Banking filed a supplemental declaration Oct. 14 in the Voyager Digital case in which it stated that the SSB is investigating FTX Trading, FTX US and their principals, including co-founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, for allegedly offering unregistered securities in the United States. FTX USis attached to an objection to the sale
of Voyager Digital assets to FTX filed by the Texas Attorney General’s office also on Oct. 14. In that objection, the state claim that Voyager Digital and FTX are not in compliance with Texas law and “the proposed sale, or order approving the sale, attempts to limit the Debtors’ liability for unlawful […] conduct for which state-regulatory fines and penalties may apply.
“The FTX Trading App now shows that I am earning yield on the ETH. The yield is valued at 8 percent APR. Based upon my earning of yield and an ongoing investigation by the Enforcement Division of the Texas State Securities Board, the yield program appears to be an investment contract.” Rotunda concluded, “FTX US should not be permitted to purchase the assets of the debtor unless or until the Securities Commissioner has an opportunity to determine whether FTX US is complying with the law.”. Its case is now being heard in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York. FTX co-found and chief technology officer Gary Wang and FTX director of engineering Nishad Singh are also mentioned in the declaration.
