CFTC accuses fraudulent trading platform of defrauding investors, involving an amount of $3.6 million.

Golden Finance reported that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a legal lawsuit against a fraudulent trading platform and its affiliates, accusing them of defrauding investors up to $3.6 million. The eyewash mainly targets Asian Americans, involving the raising of funds through legal currency and digital assets, and falsely promising commodity futures trading, but the actual funds were misappropriated and transferred overseas. The CFTC has filed a civil lawsuit against Aipu Ltd. and several other defendants, accusing them of defrauding at least 32 customers to raise funds. The regulator said it would seek compensation, confiscate illegal proceeds, impose civil fines, and impose permanent injunctions on further violations.
