According to an FBI complaint filed on Tuesday in the Southern District of New York, Kim “fraudulently induced investors to invest in Zero Edge, a cryptocurrency technology company he
founded, and then misappropriated millions of dollars in those investors’ funds.”
The FBI said Kim lost 3.8 million of his investors’ funds and charged him with securities fraud and wire fraud. According to court records, Kim posted a secured bond of $250,000 and put up $100,000 in “cash or real property” to secure it.
CoinDesk was first to report on the Zero Hedge incident in July of last year.
