> Brian Early and Alisha Ann Kingrey were found liable over false claims about Fundsz returns, trading results, risks and an algorithmic strategy.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission secured a federal court judgment requiring two Fundsz operators to pay more than $30 million in a case involving alleged digital assets and precious metals fraud.

The judgment against Brian Early and Alisha Ann Kingrey covers their roles as Fundsz board members and Telegram group moderators, according to the CFTC’s account of the case.

The CFTC said the court found that Early and Kingrey made false statements about the platform’s expected profits, historical trading results and investment risks. The pair also claimed that participant funds would be traded through a proprietary algorithm and generate interest.

The CFTC said Early and Kingrey reduced their profit claims and tried to remove Fundsz content from social media after learning of the investigation.

Consent orders also addressed two other defendants in the case. Juan Pablo Valcarce received permanent trading and registration bans, while the estate of Rene Larralde was ordered to surrender a residence and more than $2.7 million in other assets to a court-appointed receiver.
