Securities and Exchange Commission v. BG Wealth Sharing Ltd and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd, No. 3:26-cv-12746 (N.D. Cal. filed Oct. 29, 2026)
On October 29, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged two foreign-operated, Colorado-incorporated entities, BG Wealth Sharing Ltd and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd, for orchestrating a fraud scheme that used false SEC filings to boost confidence in their investment program and helped them raise more than $130 million from tens of thousands ...

BG Wealth Sharing Ltd and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd, No. 3:26-cv-12746 (N.D. Cal. filed Oct. 29, 2026) On October 29, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged two foreign-operated, Colorado-incorporated entities, BG Wealth Sharing Ltd and DSJ Exchange Pty Ltd, for orchestrating a fraud scheme that used false SEC filings to boost confidence in their investment program and helped them raise more than $130 million from tens of thousandsof retail investors.
According to the SEC's complaint, from at least October 2025 through June 2026, BG Wealth and DSJ Exchange induced investors, many located in more than 40 U.S. states and multiple U.S. territories, to participate in a supposed "wealth-sharing program" by promising extraordinary, risk-free returns generated by so-called SI-generated "signals" for crypto asset trading. In addition, BG Wealth claimed to be the world's largest hedge fund, registered with the SEC as an investment adviser, and partnered with a purported licensed and secure crypto trading platform, DSJ Exchange. None of that was true, but to create the appearance that they were legitimate entities, the complaint alleges that the defendants submitted false Form ADV and Form D filings to the SEC which were publicly viewable and shared with investors as supposed proof that the SEC had licensed or approved them. Neither entity was registered with the SEC, and their filings contained false information, as alleged.
The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, charges BG Wealth and DSJ Exchange with violating the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and charges BG Wealth with violating Sections 204(a) and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and civil penalties against both defendants and conduct-based injunctions against BG Wealth.
The SEC's Office of Investor Education and Assistance has issued investor alerts warning investors that scammers are using SEC exempt reporting adviser filings to create a false impression of legitimacy and to lure investors into scams with false claims of SEC registration. The SEC encourages investors to use Investor.gov to check the background of anyone offering or selling them an investment.
Separately, the Form ADV filed by BG Wealth and the Form D filed by DSJ Exchange have been removed from the Commission website.
The SEC's ongoing investigation is being conducted by Madiha M. Zuberi and Kathleen Hitchins with assistance from Thomas Bedkowski and Sejal Bhakta and supervised by Erin E. Wilk and Laura D'Allaird, all of the Division of Enforcement's Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit. The litigation will be led by Russell O'Brien and supervised by Jason Bussey of the SEC's San Francisco Regional Office.
The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Alberta Securities Commission; the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Securities Enforcement Branch; the Texas State Securities Board; the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Securities; the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions; and the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, among other authorities and regulators.

Bran Crudden and Transparent Equity Entrepreneurs, LLC, No. 3:26-civ-01905 (D. Conn. filed October 29, 2026) On October 29, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed settled charges against Connecticut resident Bran Crudden and his solely owned and operated company Transparent Equity Entrepreneurs, LLC, for allegedly operating a fraudulent investment scheme. Crudden and Transparent Equity agreed to settle the Commission's actionby consenting to the entry of final judgments that, among other things, would order payment of $910, 577 in monetary relief.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, from March 2021 through at least March 2026, Crudden, operating through Transparent Equity, raised more than $645,000 from approximately twenty-three retail investors by offering and selling investment interests in a day trading fund and various pre-IPO (initial public offering) funds. The complaint alleges that Crudden lied to investors about, among other things, both his and the day trading fund's track record of performance, use of investor money, and the content of certain pre-IPO investment opportunities. According to the complaint, Crudden and Transparent Equity also misappropriated investor funds and attempted to conceal investor losses by sending investors falsified statements and making Ponzi-like payments to investors that requested withdrawals.
Without admitting the allegations in the SEC's complaint, Crudden and Transparent Equity consented to the entry of final judgments, subject to court approval, that would permanently enjoin them from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) off the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and order them to pay, on a joint and several basis, $544,390 in disgorgement plus $129,736 in prejudgment interest.

SEC Charges Investment Adviser for Alleged Breaches of Fiduciary Duty in Connection With Unsuitable Investments in Leveraged and Inverse ETFs
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (TNSdock) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release:

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Cary Edward Urich, 6:26-cv-05267-JDA (D.S.C. filed Oct. 29, 2026)
On October 29, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Greenville, South Carolina-based investment adviser Cary Urich for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with his use of leveraged and/or inverse exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in discretionary client accounts while Urich was an investment adviser representative at United Planners' Financial Services ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (TNSdock) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release: * * * Securities and Exchange Commission v. Cary Edward Urich, 6:26-cv-05267-JDA (D.S.C. filed Oct. 29, 2026) On October 29, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Greenville, South Carolina-based investment adviser Cary Urich for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with his use of leveraged and/or inverse exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in discretionary client accounts while Urich was an investment adviser representative at United Planners' Financial Servicesof America A LP ("United Planners").
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, from April 2020 to November 2023, Urich used his discretionary authority over the accounts of 54 investment advisory clients--most of whom were elderly--to put large concentrations of those clients' savings and retirement funds into complex leveraged and/or inverse ETFs that did not suit the clients' investment profiles, objectives, or risk tolerances. The complaint alleges that the prospectuses for the leveraged and/or inverse ETFs and relevant regulatory notices and alerts, which Urich reviewed before investing his clients' funds in the ETFs, cautioned against investing in the funds for longer than one day due to the heightened risks involved. According to the complaint, despite these warnings, Urich held the products in client accounts for an average of 798 days. The complaint further alleges that Urich failed to disclose to the impacted clients that he held these positions in a manner that was inconsistent with the short-term holding period recommended in the leveraged and inverse ETFs' prospectuses and in the regulatory guidance, and also failed to disclose the negative historical returns associated with these investments. According to the complaint, as a result of this conduct, the 54 impacted clients lost approximately 70% of their investments in the products.
Without admitting the allegations, Urich consented to the entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, that would permanently enjoin him from violating the antifraud provisions of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940; enjoin him from acting as or associating with an investment adviser for two years; and imposing a civil money penalty of $100,000.
In a related administrative proceeding, the Commission instituted settled proceedings against United Planners arising out of the same conduct.
The SEC previously issued an Investor Bulletin educating investors about leveraged and inverse ETFs and the risks associated with them.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by staff in its Los Angeles Regional Office, including Robert Stillwell and Daniel Lim, and supervised by Sarah Nilson and Brent Wilner. The investigative team appreciates the assistance of Artur Minkin and Ignacio Franceschelli of the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis. The SEC's examination that led to the investigation was conducted by Christopher Wacker and supervised by Dara Campbell.

FCC Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau Issues Public Notice: Conditional Approval, Exemption of Certain Uncrewed Aircraft Systems
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (TNSdock) -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket No. 18-89; ET Docket No. 21-232; EA Docket No. 21-233):
* * *
The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) maintains a list of equipment and services (Covered List) that have been determined to "pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons."/1 Pursuant to Section 2 of the Secure and ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (TNSdock) -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (WC Docket No. 18-89; ET Docket No. 21-232; EA Docket No. 21-233): * * * The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC or Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) maintains a list of equipment and services (Covered List) that have been determined to "pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons."/1 Pursuant to Section 2 of the Secure andTrusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 (Secure Networks Act)/2 and sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules,/3 PSHSB announces that the Department of War (DoW) has granted Conditional Approval for certain foreign-produced uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), advanced robotic devices and power inverters. Therefore, such devices are exempt from the Covered List.
Additions to the Covered List
UAS and UAS Critical Components. On December 22, 2025, PSHSB issued a Public Notice adding all UAS and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country to the Covered List./4 This action was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that UAS and UAS critical components produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons. In that Public Notice, we stated, "[i]f we receive a further specific determination from the Department of War or the Department of Homeland Security that a given UAS, class of UAS, or UAS critical component does not pose unacceptable risks, we will further update the Covered List."/5
Most recently, on July 21, 2026, we updated the Covered List to reflect DoW's determination that extended timelines for the exemption of UAS and UAS critical components included on DoW's Blue UAS Cleared List and UAS and UAS critical components that qualify as "domestic end products" under the Buy American Standard to January 1, 2028./6 We also updated the Covered List to reflect DoW's determination that Conditional Approvals for foreign-produced UAS and UAS critical components will not terminate on December 31, 2026, so long as the applicant complies with its approved onshoring plan and updated vetting of the products./7
Advanced Robotic Devices. On July 28, 2026, the Commission added to the Covered List "foreign-produced advanced robotic devices, except advanced robotic devices which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW."/8 This addition was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that advanced robotic devices produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./9
Power Inverters. On July 28, 2026, PSHSB added to the Covered List "[f]oreign-produced power inverters, except power inverters which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW or DHS."/10 This action was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that power inverters produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./11
On August 19, 2026, the Commission received another National Security Determination from DoW that contained additional determinations related to foreign-produced power inverters. First, DoW determined that certain foreign-produced power inverters that are eligible for certain clean energy tax credits do not pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or to the safety and security of U.S. persons. Second, DoW determined that the definition of "power inverters" should be revised to accurately reflect the specific power inverters that the Executive Branch interagency body and the DoW previously determined to pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or to the security and safety of U.S. persons./12 On August 20, 2026, PSHSB updated the Covered List to implement these determinations.
Conditional Approvals
The Executive Branch interagency body established a process by which entities producing certain covered equipment in foreign countries can request DoW to evaluate whether such devices do not pose unacceptable risks to national security and receive Conditional Approvals that would exempt such devices from the Covered List. The Commission has previously updated the Covered List to reflect the Conditional Approvals that we have received from DoW./13
The Commission received National Security Determinations from DoW granting Conditional Approvals for the following devices:
* Voliro AG's T uncrewed aircraft system
* ARAPL RaaS Private Limited's Autonomous Pallet Truck/Maia2000 V1, V3, & V4 and autonomous counterbalance
* Forklift/Atlas AC2000 V1, V2, and V4 automated mobile robotic equipment
* ATI Motors, Inc.'s Sherpa 3K, Sherpa 10K, FlexFork 1500, FlexFork 3000, and Sherpa Mecha robotic platforms
* Lightberry Holdings, Inc.'s Lumi Interactive mobile robots
* SunScout Holdings, Inc.'s SunScout Eco, Pro, and Promax Robotic Platforms and SunScout Solar Shelter Mobile Energy Systems
* Swap Robotics Canada Inc.'s V7 robot
* OMRON Holdings, Inc.'s LD-150 and LD-300 robotic platforms
* Ingeteam Power Technology, S.A. INGECON 3POWER C, C Plus, C HV, and M power inverter models
Consistent with the National Security Determinations, these exemptions from the FCC's Covered List are subject to the companies' continuing "compliance with the onshoring plan[s] outlined in [their] conditional approval application[s] and pursuant to updated vetting of [their] products."/14 In addition, the advanced robotics National Security Determinations (ARAPL, ATI, Lightberry, SunScout, Swap Robotics, and OMRON) state that these conditions apply unless superseded by another National Security Determination.
The Covered List
We find that the Conditional Approval constitutes "a specific determination" by DoW that such devices do not pose risks to U.S. national security./15 Therefore, we conclude that PSHSB is required to update the Covered List to exclude the equipment identified in the Conditional Approval.
PSHSB takes this action under its authority and obligation to publish and maintain the Covered List. Sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules require PSHSB to publish the Covered List on the Commission's website, to maintain and update the Covered List, and to monitor the status of determinations./16
The Covered List and the list of devices that have received Conditional Approvals are attached as Appendices A and B to this Public Notice and can also be found on the Bureau's website at https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist./17
We note the continued availability of FCC staff guidance pursuant to sections 0.191 and 0.31(i) of the Commission's rules. Commission staff will provide guidance to TCBs, test labs, and equipment authorization applicants on the impact of these updates.

On July 28, 2026, PSHSB added to the Covered List "[f]oreign-produced power inverters, except power inverters which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW or DHS."/10 This action was based on a National Security Determination from an Executive Branch interagency body, including several appropriate national security agencies, determining (among other things) that power inverters produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons./11
On August 19, 2026, the Commission received another National Security Determination from DoW that contained additional determinations related to foreign-produced power inverters. First, DoW determined that certain foreign-produced power inverters that are eligible for certain clean energy tax credits do not pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or to the safety and security of U.S. persons. Second, DoW determined that the definition of "power inverters" should be revised to accurately reflect the specific power inverters that the Executive Branch interagency body and the DoW previously determined to pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or to the security and safety of U.S. persons./12 On August 20, 2026, PSHSB updated the Covered List to implement these determinations.
Conditional Approvals
The Executive Branch interagency body established a process by which entities producing certain covered equipment in foreign countries can request DoW to evaluate whether such devices do not pose unacceptable risks to national security and receive Conditional Approvals that would exempt such devices from the Covered List. The Commission has previously updated the Covered List to reflect the Conditional Approvals that we have received from DoW./13
The Commission received National Security Determinations from DoW granting Conditional Approvals for the following devices:
* Voliro AG's T uncrewed aircraft system
* ARAPL RaaS Private Limited's Autonomous Pallet Truck/Maia2000 V1, V3, & V4 and autonomous counterbalance
* Forklift/Atlas AC2000 V1, V2, and V4 automated mobile robotic equipment
* ATI Motors, Inc.'s Sherpa 3K, Sherpa 10K, FlexFork 1500, FlexFork 3000, and Sherpa Mecha robotic platforms
* Lightberry Holdings, Inc.'s Lumi Interactive mobile robots
* SunScout Holdings, Inc.'s SunScout Eco, Pro, and Promax Robotic Platforms and SunScout Solar Shelter Mobile Energy Systems
* Swap Robotics Canada Inc.'s V7 robot
* OMRON Holdings, Inc.'s LD-150 and LD-300 robotic platforms
* Ingeteam Power Technology, S.A. INGECON 3POWER C, C Plus, C HV, and M power inverter models
Consistent with the National Security Determinations, these exemptions from the FCC's Covered List are subject to the companies' continuing "compliance with the onshoring plan[s] outlined in [their] conditional approval application[s] and pursuant to updated vetting of [their] products."/14 In addition, the advanced robotics National Security Determinations (ARAPL, ATI, Lightberry, SunScout, Swap Robotics, and OMRON) state that these conditions apply unless superseded by another National Security Determination.
The Covered List
We find that the Conditional Approval constitutes "a specific determination" by DoW that such devices do not pose risks to U.S. national security./15 Therefore, we conclude that PSHSB is required to update the Covered List to exclude the equipment identified in the Conditional Approval.
PSHSB takes this action under its authority and obligation to publish and maintain the Covered List. Sections 1.50002(a) and 1.50003 of the Commission's rules require PSHSB to publish the Covered List on the Commission's website, to maintain and update the Covered List, and to monitor the status of determinations./16
The Covered List and the list of devices that have received Conditional Approvals are attached as Appendices A and B to this Public Notice and can also be found on the Bureau's website at https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist./17
We note the continued availability of FCC staff guidance pursuant to sections 0.191 and 0.31(i) of the Commission's rules. Commission staff will provide guidance to TCBs, test labs, and equipment authorization applicants on the impact of these updates.
