DOJ, SEC Argue Vague Laws No Excuse for ICO Fraud – CoinDesk

By Securities Docket on March 20, 2018, 8:47 am

The U.S. government is pushing back against an effort to dismiss the charges it filed in an ongoing initial coin offering (ICO) fraud lawsuit.

In twin filings submitted Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dismissed claims by defendant Maksim Zaslavskiy that U.S. securities laws don’t apply to the sale of tokens tied to two ventures, one backed by real estate and the other by diamond holdings.
