  In another case, the SEC charged the founders of Centra Tech, a cryptocurrency startup, with conducting a fraudulent initial coin offering (ICO). The founders were accused of misleading investors by claiming to have partnerships with major financial institutions, which turned out to be false. The SEC's action resulted in criminal charges against the founders and the company, and they were ordered to pay millions of dollars in penalties and restitution.
