                   CFTC Imposes $250,000 Penalty Against bZeroX, LLC and Its Founders and

                   Charges Successor Ooki DAO for Offering Illegal, Off-Exchange Digital-Asset

                   Trading, Registration Violations, and Failing to Comply with Bank Secrecy Act


                   CFTC Order Finds, and Complaint Alleges, Ooki DAO is Liable as an

                   Unincorporated Association (2022/9/22)


                        The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today issued an order

                   simultaneously filing and settling charges against respondent bZeroX, LLC (bZeroX)

                   and its founders Tom Bean (Bean) and Kyle Kistner (Kistner) (collectively,

                   respondents) for illegally offering leveraged and margined retail commodity
                   transactions in digital assets; engaging in activities only registered futures commission

                   merchants (FCM) can perform; and failing to adopt a customer identification program

                   as part of a Bank Secrecy Act compliance program, as required of FCMs.


                        The respondents engaged in these activities in connection with a decentralized

                   blockchain-based software protocol that functioned similarly to a trading platform.

                   The order requires the respondents to pay a $250,000 civil monetary penalty and to

                   cease and desist from further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and

                   CFTC regulations, as charged.


                        Simultaneously, the CFTC filed a federal civil enforcement action in the U.S.

                   District Court for the Northern District of California charging the Ooki DAO—a

                   decentralized autonomous organization and successor to bZeroX that operated the

                   same software protocol as bZeroX—with violating the same laws as the respondents.

                   The CFTC seeks restitution, disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, trading and
                   registration bans, and injunctions against further violations of the CEA and CFTC

                   regulations, as charged.
