What sources claim
- The SEC charged BG Wealth Sharing Ltd. and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd. with running a crypto investment fraud that raised more than $130 million from tens of thousands of retail investors, according to Bitcoin Magazine.
- The complaint alleges that from at least October 2025 through June 2026 the companies induced investors in more than 40 states and several U.S. territories to join a “wealth-sharing program” promising risk-free returns from crypto trading signals.
- The SEC alleges the companies submitted false Form ADV and Form D filings and displayed fake certificates bearing the SEC seal, and it seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest and civil penalties.
Still unresolved
- Whether the defendants have responded to the complaint or retained counsel, and the court's next steps, would need the docket or an official statement.
- Whether any investor funds have been recovered or frozen would require a court filing, receiver report or on-chain data.
Evidence levels describe source coverage, not the probability that a report is true. Price moves and their timing cannot establish a cause; minute samples show an observed interval and alert thresholds are heuristics. Explanations are model-assisted, with citations and figures checked. Source titles stay in their original language; full articles are not republished.
