The court has ordered them to pay approximately $468,600 in restitution, $61,000 in disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, and a civil penalty of $660,000, totaling over $1.1 million. Additionally, the defendants are permanently banned from registering with the CFTC and participating in markets under its regulation. The case revealed that between February 2019 and June 2021, the defendants misled clients into investing in Bitcoin and other digital assets through false advertising.
