Basile through his companies GIBF GP, Inc. and Monsoon Blockchain Corporation. In April 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Basile with orchestrating a $16 million investor fraud scheme, alleging he raised funds through Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) using fabricated insurance coverage claims and nonexistent asset-backing structures, then diverted millions to personal expenses. The token, which peaked near $9,336 in December 2021, has since collapsed to near zero, and multiple civil lawsuits from defrauded investors preceded the SEC action.","sections":[{"content":"On April 17, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Case No. 1:26-cv-02293) against Donald G. Basile, GIBF GP, Inc., and Monsoon Blockchain Corporation. The complaint alleges violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. Aiding-and-abetting charges were brought against Basile personally in connection with his controlled entities. The enforcement action was led by attorneys Brockett, Flath, and Rodriguez, supervised by Jack Kaufman of the SEC's New York Regional Office. Remedies sought include permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, civil monetary penalties, a conduct-based injunction barring Basile from future securities offerings, and a lifetime officer-and-director bar preventing Basile from serving in any public company leadership role.","heading":"SEC Civil Fraud Action (April 2026)","sources":[{"url":"https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-26530","name":"SEC Litigation Release LR-26530: Donald G.

The SAFTs promised investors future delivery of Bitcoin Latinum (also branded BTCL or LTNM). According to the SEC complaint, Basile distributed pitch decks, whitepapers, and a document titled 'Investor Overview' containing materially false claims in three primary categories: (1) insurance coverage, (2) asset backing, and (3) use of proceeds. The SEC also alleges that Basile commissioned a social media campaign on Telegram and Twitter described internally as 'Mega-Shilling,' designed to generate 500 to 700 original posts per day amplifying these claims. The offering documents explicitly identified the SAFTs as securities and purchasers as 'investors,' elements the SEC cited as acknowledgment that the offering was subject to federal securities laws.","heading":"The SAFT Offering and Fraudulent Representations","sources":[{"url":"https://www.investmentnews.com/regulation-legal-compliance/sec-sues-crypto-founder-alleging-16m-token-fraud-built-on-phantom-insurance/266228","name":"InvestmentNews: SEC hits crypto founder with fraud suit over $16M Bitcoin Latinum raise","type":"news_article","credibility":1},{"url":"https://blockonomi.com/sec-charges-bitcoin-latinum-founder-donald-basile-with-16-million-investor-fraud/","name":"Blockonomi: SEC Charges Bitcoin Latinum Founder Donald Basile With $16 Million Investor Fraud","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://compliancebuilding.com/2026/04/22/the-one-with-the-crypto-paying-for-a-mega-shilling-package/","name":"ComplianceBuilding: The One with the Crypto Paying for a Mega-Shilling Package","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"The SEC's complaint identifies the insurance claim as the central misrepresentation. Basile allegedly described LTNM as 'the world's first insured digital asset' with 'up to $1 billion coverage.' Marketing materials named Marsh McLennan — the world's largest insurance broker — as having arranged the alleged coverage. A November 2020 press release had announced that Marsh Asia was appointed to arrange comprehensive insurance for Bitcoin Latinum holders protecting against external theft and internal collusion up to the full value of their holdings. According to the SEC, however, no insurance company ever issued any policy for LTNM, and no coverage was ever in place at the time Basile was selling SAFTs during 2021. The SEC characterizes these insurance representations as 'flagrantly false and misleading.' Marsh McLennan has not been named as a defendant or alleged wrongdoer in any related proceeding.","heading":"Phantom Insurance Claims","sources":[{"url":"https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-26530","name":"SEC Litigation Release LR-26530","type":"regulatory","credibility":1},{"url":"https://www.investmentnews.com/regulation-legal-compliance/sec-sues-crypto-founder-alleging-16m-token-fraud-built-on-phantom-insurance/266228","name":"InvestmentNews: SEC hits crypto founder with fraud suit over $16M Bitcoin Latinum raise","type":"news_article","credibility":1},{"url":"https://coincodex.com/article/12761/coincodex-interview-with-dr-donald-basile-the-founder-of-bitcoin-latinum/","name":"CoinCodex: Interview with Dr. Donald Basile, Founder of Bitcoin Latinum","type":"other","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"The SEC further alleges that Basile falsely claimed LTNM was 'an asset-backed cryptocurrency' secured by an 'existing trust' holding a diversified pool of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

According to the SEC complaint, no such trust or asset pool was ever created.

The complaint, as reported by InvestmentNews, identifies the following alleged expenditures: approximately $4.1 million toward a Miami condominium, approximately $2.8 million on a Park City, Utah residence, approximately $1.4 million applied to personal American Express credit card charges, approximately $1 million transferred to bank accounts controlled by Basile or family members, and $160,000 for a horse purchased for his daughter.

In February 2022, a civil case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Case No. 2:2022cv10208, Jonna et al. v. Bitcoin Latinum et al.) alleging securities fraud, wire fraud, and fraudulent conversion of investment funds. The suit alleges at least $540,000 of unregistered LTNM securities were sold to at least three Michigan investors between September and December 2021. Bitcoin Latinum moved to compel arbitration, but on June 17, 2024, the court denied that motion, finding Bitcoin Latinum had waived its arbitration right by litigating for over two years. The case remained pending as of the SEC's April 2026 filing. Separately, a California plaintiff, Arshad Assofi, filed a civil suit against GIBF GP, Inc. and Donald Basile in approximately November 2022 alleging fraud of over $15 million and citing specific false claims, including Basile's alleged assertion that the project had received '$20 million from Star Trek producers' and a promised but undelivered November 2021 trading launch.","heading":"Related Civil Litigation","sources":[{"url":"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/michigan/miedce/2:2022cv10208/359650/41/","name":"Justia: Jonna et al v.
