SEC charges two entities in 130 million dollar fraud

Politics Thursday, October 29, 2026 - Updated Oct 29, 2026 15:12

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged BG Wealth Sharing Ltd and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd on Thursday with running a fraud that used false SEC filings to lend legitimacy to a supposed wealth-sharing program and raised more than 130 million dollars from tens of thousands of retail investors.

Why it matters: The case is the SEC's clearest warning yet that scammers are filing real Form ADV and Form D documents, viewable on the Commission's own website, as supposed proof of licensing, turning the regulator's public filing system itself into a marketing tool for fraud.

Data as of SEC press release 2026-110 of October 29, 2026, read in full at source (primary source). The conduct described is as alleged in the SEC's complaint, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California; no court has ruled on the allegations. Developing item.

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged two foreign-operated, Colorado-incorporated entities, BG Wealth Sharing Ltd and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd, on Thursday with orchestrating a fraud scheme that raised more than 130 million dollars from tens of thousands of retail investors, many of them in more than 40 US states and multiple US territories. The SEC alleges that from at least October 2025 through June 2026 the pair sold a supposed wealth-sharing program promising extraordinary, risk-free returns from so-called SI-generated signals for crypto asset trading, with BG Wealth falsely claiming to be the world’s largest hedge fund and an SEC-registered investment adviser.

The legitimacy was staged through the regulator’s own system, the complaint alleges: the defendants submitted false Form ADV and Form D filings that were publicly viewable on the SEC website and were shown to investors as supposed proof the SEC had licensed or approved them, displayed fake certificates bearing the SEC’s seal, and made periodic payments to some investors, a Ponzi-like tactic, while misappropriating the rest. The SEC has removed both filings from its website, and its complaint seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest and civil penalties.
