Summary
PlexCoin was a token sold through an initial coin offering (ICO) run by the company PlexCorps and promoted by Dominic Lacroix and Sabrina Paradis-Royer, beginning in August 2017. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's newly formed Cyber Unit brought its first-ever case against the offering in December 2017, alleging an unregistered and fraudulent securities offering that promised investors returns of up to 1,354 percent in under 29 days; the case ended in a final judgment, a related criminal indictment, and parallel Quebec regulatory and criminal proceedings against the operators.
