CFTC 表示，该公司在网上向数千人征集比特币以表面上经营商品池的骗局是涉及比特币的最大欺诈 它曾经调查过。
CFTC 表示，MTI 的关键人物 Steynberg 从“甚至全球范围内”的 23,000 名美国人手中拿走了价值超过 17 亿美元的 29,421 BTC，用于无牌商品池操作，CFTC 表示。
CFTC 称，MTI 在 2018 年 5 月 18 日至 2021 年 3 月 30 日期间运营了大约三年。
CFTC 专员克里斯汀约翰逊在一份新闻声明中说：
“被告的少量交易活动毫无成效，他们几乎挪用了从参与者那里收集到的至少 29,421 个比特币。”
根据 Johnson 的说法，骗子经常利用新技术、全球联系以及“被认为没有警察在巡逻”来实施他们的邪恶活动。
MTI 的说法包含在 CFTC 的投诉文件中，作为欺诈受害者认为他们正在投资高科技投资俱乐部的证据。
根据 Steynberg 的说法，MTI 的算法产生“被动收入”，每月投资回报率 (ROI) 为 10%。根据文件，推荐朋友和家人可以获得奖金。

对 Steynberg 和 MTI 提出的指控是该机构最近采取的举措，该机构在 5 月份表示，它正在分配额外资源以密切关注加密货币领域。
