Federal Court Orders Digital Asset Derivatives Platform and Florida Resident to
Pay More than $15 Million for Multiple Violations of the Commodity Exchange

Act（2023/7/12）

issued a default judgment granting a permanent injunction against Florida resident

Adam Todd and four companies he controlled – Digitex LLC, Digitex Limited, Digitex

Software Limited, and Blockster Holdings Limited Corporation.

Todd and his companies operated a digital asset exchange under the trade name

“Digitex Futures.” Todd and his companies attempted to manipulate the price of the
Digitex Futures native token DGTX (a commodity in interstate commerce), illegally
