According to Foresight News, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused Caleb Joseph Ward and Jeremy George McNutt, co-founders of Bitcoin mining company Geosyn Mining, of defrauding approximately 64 investors of $5.6 million through service agreements sold as securities between November 2021 and December 2022. The SEC alleges that Geosyn Mining's agreement to purchase and operate cryptocurrency mining machines on behalf of clients, for which it charged fees, falsely claimed to have signed a cheap energy contract with a power supplier. In reality, the costs were 40% to 50% higher than the rates communicated to clients. Furthermore, of the 1,400 mining machines that were supposed to be purchased under the service agreements, 400 were never bought. Additionally, most of the mining equipment that was purchased was never put into operation.
