Which cases charged both securities fraud and wire fraud over one coin?

Research question: Which SEC or DOJ complaints pleaded Rule 10b-5 and wire fraud in parallel over the same token, and how did each charging document define the manipulated asset as a security, commodity, or property?

The verified facts do not identify any SEC or DOJ complaint that pleaded Rule 10b-5 and wire fraud over the same token. The DOJ's GOTBIT indictment charged Antoine Tsao, Ian Sofronov and Nemanja Popov with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two counts of wire fraud ³. The DOJ described the wash-trading cases involving Gotbit, Vortex, Antier and Contrarian as schemes to inflate token prices and volumes through coordinated trading ⁴. A parallel SEC action accompanied the 2024 DOJ charges, but the article does not say which statutes or definitions the SEC complaint used ². The facts also do not say how any charging document defined the manipulated asset as a security, commodity, or property, and one source notes that NFT classification remains actively debated ¹. The newest fact is dated April 1, 2026 ⁴, about six months before the current date of October 2026.
