Binance was hacked for an estimated ~$6.3bn (Binance's own figure). StratoSig never holds or moves your money: signals, not custody. What is confirmed, with sources.
What happened
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has charged two companies with running a crypto investment fraud, according to Bitcoin Magazine. The defendants are BG Wealth Sharing Ltd. and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd, both described as foreign-operated and Colorado-incorporated. The SEC says they used false federal filings to raise more than $130 million from tens of thousands of retail investors.
A complaint filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California alleges that, from at least October 2025 through June 2026, the companies drew in investors in more than 40 states and several US territories. Participants joined what was called a "wealth-sharing program". They were promised returns without risk, generated by so-called signals for crypto asset trading.
The SEC alleges that BG Wealth claimed to be the world's largest hedge fund and to be registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. It also said it partnered with a licensed and secure trading platform, DSJ Exchange. The SEC says none of this was true.
How the scheme allegedly worked
The complaint alleges the companies submitted false Form ADV and Form D filings to the SEC. Those filings were visible on the agency's website, and investors were shown them as evidence that the firms had been licensed or approved. The SEC also alleges the defendants displayed fake certificates bearing the SEC's seal.
Laura D'Allaird, chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit, said: "This alleged scheme was well-planned." She cited social media, encrypted messaging channels, weekly live videoconferences and a mobile app used to engage investors.
The complaint also alleges that periodic payments went to some investors, which the SEC called "a Ponzi-like tactic", while the remaining funds were misappropriated. The filings have since been removed from the SEC website. These are allegations in a complaint, and the agency is seeking injunctions, disgorgement and civil penalties.
What it means for someone acting on signals
The detail that matters most is the filings. A document on a regulator's website was allegedly shown to investors to imply an approval that did not exist. The SEC's investor education office has warned that scammers use exempt reporting adviser filings to create a false impression of legitimacy. It encourages investors to check the background of anyone offering or selling a crypto investment through Investor.gov.
The promise itself also matters. The SEC says participants were promised returns without risk. In our view, a promise like that deserves scrutiny. Sensible questions for any provider are simple. Can you see the results somewhere you do not have to take on trust? Does the service ask you to hand over money to a programme, rather than giving you information to act on yourself?

Questions
What did the SEC allege about the crypto signals scheme? According to Bitcoin Magazine's report, the SEC alleges two companies raised more than $130 million from tens of thousands of retail investors using false filings and a "wealth-sharing program" built around crypto trading signals. These are allegations in a complaint.
How can a trader check whether a signals provider is genuine? The SEC encourages investors to check the background of anyone offering or selling a crypto investment through Investor.gov. It also warns that scammers use exempt reporting adviser filings to create a false impression of legitimacy, so a filing on its own is not proof.
Does StratoSig publish its trades? Yes. Every StratoSig trade is on a public track record anyone can check.
