The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are suing an international securities dealer for allegedly violating federal law through a bitcoin-based security swap scheme.

The SEC announced in a press release that it filed charges against 1pool Ltd., also known as 1Broker, as well as CEO Patrick Brunner for selling security-based swaps to U.S. and international investors without following proper “discretionary investment thresholds.” Notably, investors could only purchase these swaps with bitcoin, according to the claims.

The SEC is further claiming that 1Broker was not registered a “security-based swaps dealer” and “failed to transact its security-based swaps on a registered national exchange,” according to the release.

It added:

“The SEC alleges that a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acting in an undercover capacity, successfully purchased several security-based swaps on 1Broker’s platform from the U.S. despite not meeting the discretionary investment thresholds required by the federal securities laws.”

Shamoil Shipchandler, director of the SEC’s Fort Worth regional office, said in a statement that “the SEC protects U.S. investors across a variety of platforms, regardless of the type of currency used in their transactions … International companies that transact with U.S. investors cannot circumvent compliance with the federal securities laws by using cryptocurrency.”

The regulator is looking for a permanent injunction against Brunner and 1pool, along with penalties and “disgorgement plus interest.”

In addition, the CFTC filed charges against 1Broker for similarly violating federal laws by failing to implement anti-money laundering and supervisory features.

1Broker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
