The SEC released an official statement regarding a lawsuit against Consensys
According to Gurbir Grave, director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Division of Enforcement, the company collected hundreds of millions of dollars in fees as an unregistered broker and engaged in unregistered offers and sales of tens of thousands of securities.
He claims that this is how Consensys directly entered the US securities markets, depriving investors of the protections afforded by federal securities laws.
