Texas Enforcement Sweep Finds Widespread Fraud in Cryptocurrency Offerings
The surge in cryptocurrency activity has led to an increase in attention from enforcement authorities at both the state and national levels.

This Jones Day White Paper describes the investigation and the enforcement sweep that followed.
