U.S. Senator Thomas Tuberville Asks DOJ, SEC to Investigate Crypto Broker Prometheum

Prometheum “may have provided false testimony to Congress or violated U.S. securities laws,” the open letter began. The lawmaker said Prometheum CEO Aaron Kaplan told Congress that it developed its own blockchain platform independently starting in December 2019. However, in SEC filings filed through 2021, Prometheum said it depended on Shanghai Wanxiang Blockchain, Inc., a Chinese firm Tuberville alleged had ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
