  Washington D.C., Oct. 29, 2026 —

  The Securities and Exchange Commission today 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 of 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.
