An investor with frozen assets in the bankrupt cryptocurrency lender BlockFi has filed a class-action complaint against BlockFi's executives, two directors, and cryptocurrency exchange Gemini. The complaint alleges that BlockFi and Gemini sold unregistered securities through false statements and significant omissions.
Allegations of False Statements and Significant Omissions
The investor, Trey Greene, claims that BlockFi is one of the biggest sellers of unregistered securities to citizens of the United States and other nations through the unregistered "BlockFi interest accounts." The complaint also alleges that BlockFi skewed the risks related to its investment accounts and neglected to provide critical information to investors.

BlockFi has faced multiple controversies recently, including a $1.2 billion exposure to the defunct FTX and the suspension of withdrawals in response to FTX's bankruptcy declaration. Gemini has also faced criticism after users were misinformed about FDIC coverage.
