    4. Green United LLC and its leaders are facing serious legal troubles following SEC accusations of running a fraudulent crypto mining scheme.

    SEC Allegations

    The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused Wright Thurston and Kristoffer Krohn, leaders of Green United LLC, of collecting $18 million from investors by selling 'Green Boxes' and 'Green nodes.' These were marketed as devices that would mine a cryptocurrency called GREEN on a supposed 'Green Blockchain,' which, according to the SEC, never even existed.

    Court Ruling

    On September 23, Judge Ann Marie McIff Allen ruled that the SEC had enough evidence to proceed with the lawsuit, stating that Green United’s offerings were investment contracts subject to securities laws. She also highlighted how Thurston allegedly deceived investors, making them believe they were mining GREEN tokens when the distribution was controlled by Thurston himself. The SEC also claims that the devices sold were Bitcoin mining rigs, but none of the investors ever received Bitcoin either.

    Next Steps

    Thurston and Krohn attempted to-dismiss the case, arguing that the SEC lacked authority over digital assets. However, the judge rejected this claim, stating that the SEC was enforcing regulations that have existed for decades. Now, the case will move forward, likely leading to further investigations or a trial.

    The legal proceedings against Green United LLC are far from over, and the continuation of the case may uncover more details about this alleged fraudulent scheme.
