California jury finds crypto founder deceived Block Bits investors

The case stemmed from claims that the company’s auto-trading platform was already running, which prosecutors argued were false.

A California federal jury on Monday found that cryptocurrency startup founder Japeth Dillman deceived Block Bits investors by falsely claiming the company’s auto-trading platform was up and running, according to Mortgage News Daily.

The ruling followed a trial in which Dillman’s co-founder testified against him under a plea agreement, the outlet said.
