Olympic gold medalist Anton Ohno late made his introduction to the universe of crypto by making an advanced exchanging stage called 'HybridBlock'. On the off chance that things go according to design, Ohno and his group are hoping to raise a sum of $50 million using his foundation's forthcoming ICO.
The common suit against HybridBlock comes as the U.S. Protections and Exchange Commission (SEC) keeps on chasing down fraudsters that exploited the generally unregulated introductory coin offering (ICO) blast of 2017 and 2018.
From January to June of 2018, Ohno and Jao advanced HybridBlock and its ICO via virtual entertainment, at gatherings, and in interviews, raising an expected $50 million. Be that as it may, rather than their assets being utilized to work out the HybridBlock trade and environment as financial backers were persuaded to think, the grievance charges the ICO was a "simple vessel for Defendants' improvement."
After the supposed hack, Jao and Ohno are likewise blamed for making the Asia Digital Asset Exchange (ADAX) - depicted as a "robotized liquidity convention that works with exchanges inside the Cardano ecosystem" - in May 2019 to secure the weak HybridBlock and act as a "leave vehicle" to pipe assets through to themselves.
