Fact #50 EnforcementMoney

$204Mordered from a binary options network that never showed up in court

A federal court ordered more than $204 million from the binary options network behind BeeOptions, Glenridge Capital and Rumelia Capital, whose six named defendants never appeared to contest the case.

The CFTC's default judgment covers $51,155,645 in disgorgement and a $153,466,935 penalty, for a scheme prosecutors say took in more than $165 million from US customers between 2013 and 2018. No defendant has been reported arrested or criminally charged.
