New York Attorney General Letitia James Obtains Court Order, Agency Claims 170 Complaints Filed
Coinseed is calling it quits after the firm was served with a court order to continue âa mandated pauseâ on operations. Bitcoin.com News reported during the first week of May when James announced that the attorney general took âlegal actionâ against Coinseed. The platform was also instructed by the U.S. government to âimmediately haltâ all operations.
The court order obtained by the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the press release that followed, said that the shutdown is meant to ensure the âprotection of investorsâ money going forward.â Moreover, the NYAG claimed it obtained more than 170 complaints from investors involved with Coinseed operations.
âWhen platforms operating illegally in New York seek to trade on investorsâ money, we will use every tool at our disposal to stop their unlawful actions,â said Attorney General James. âThis order appoints a court-appointed receiver before any other investments are squandered by Coinseed and its CEO. We will not allow rogue operators to hold innocent investorsâ funds hostage,â the NYAG added.
Coinseed CEO Tells NY Crypto Operators To Run Away, FLJ Token Created for âNYAG and Her Croniesâ
The companyâs CEO Delgerdalai Davaasambuu wrote on the website coinseed.co that the companyâs âfatal mistakeâ was its association with the state of New York. In 2017, Coinseed conducted an initial coin offering (ICO) and the CEO claims it was raised from ânon-US investors (mostly European) to support Coinseedâs future development.â
âImmediately upon our ICO, they subpoenaed us over the ICO and they have been constantly harassing us for the last 3 years,â the Coinseed executive stressed. He added:
Run away from NY if you are running a crypto business there.
The Coinseed CEO also detailed that he created a token for âNYAG Letitia James and her croniesâ and itâs called FLJ (F*** Letita James). Davaasambuu left the FLJ contract address and told people to check it out. It will be listed on a myriad of decentralized finance (defi) platforms soon and âwill be available for trading,â Davaasambuu concluded.
âIâll also donate some FLJ token to the NYAG office to support their other causes,â the Coinseed CEO said at the end of his letter.
