ASIC is taking legal action against Allan Guo, the former director of Blockchain Global, the company behind the failed crypto exchange, ACX Exchange.
ACX Exchange collapsed in 2019, leading to customers losing over AU$20 million, prompting ASIC to investigate Guo's dealings with customer funds and record-keeping failures.
Allegations against Guo include mishandling customer funds, making false statements about the dealings, and failing to maintain accurate records.
ASIC's decision to pursue Guo came after a report from The Guardian linked Blockchain Global to fraudulent activities, including ties to the Hyperverse scam.
