Summary

Bitcoin Latinum (LTNM) was a cryptocurrency token marketed by Monsoon Blockchain Corporation and its CEO Donald G. Basile as the 'world's first insured digital asset,' falsely claiming up to $1 billion in insurance coverage and asset-backing by a digital-asset trust. On April 17, 2026, the SEC filed a civil fraud complaint against Basile, GIBF GP Inc., and Monsoon Blockchain Corporation, alleging that $16 million raised from hundreds of investors via Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) between March and December 2021 was largely misappropriated for personal use. The token collapsed from a peak of approximately $9,335 in December 2021 to worthless, leaving investors with no recourse.
