The Department of Justice on Monday announced criminal charges against two people and the guilty plea of a third person for orchestrating a $1.9 billion cryptocurrency Ponzi fraud scheme known as HyperFund, among other names. Lee, a 35-year-old also known as Xue Lee, is charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud. Chunga, who also is known as Bitcoin Beautee, pled guilty Monday to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, for which she faces the same possible maximum sentence. Chunga separately agreed to settle civil charges by the SEC for violating the anti-fraud and registration provisions of U.S. securities laws. The SEC complaint says she received more than $3.7 million from both the HyperFund platform and from investors.

“This is an extremely undemocratic way to harm access to reproductive health care," said Sofia Tomov, operations coordinator with Access Reproductive Care Southeast, a member of the Mississippi Abortion Access Coalition. The proposal comes days after a Missouri abortion-rights campaign launched its ballot measure effort aiming to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution. Missouri abortion rights groups also have criticized Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, saying he is attempting to impede the initiative by manipulating the measure's ballot summary. Ohio abortion rights advocates have said last year’s statewide vote to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution was as much about abortion as it was a referendum on democracy itself. After Ohio voters approved the abortion protections last year, Republican lawmakers pledged to block the amendment from reversing the state's restrictions.
