The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that the federal court in Florida has made a final ruling on the cryptocurrency investment platform EmpiresX and its founders Emerson Pires and Flavio Goncalves, imposing a fine and compensation of over $130 million and permanently prohibiting them from trading in the US market. The court found that EmpiresX attracted investors through false advertising and did not invest as promised after raising at least $40 million, but instead used it for personal expenses and the purchase of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The co-founder is currently still in Brazil and has been listed as a fugitive by the US Department of Justice due to the country's laws prohibiting the extradition of citizens.
