Tami is exactly the kind of thoughtful, sophisticated former regulator our clients need when the SEC and other agencies are pushing aggressively on enforcement. Her first-chair experience leading SEC investigations, combined with her track record obtaining efficient, favorable outcomes for clients in high-stakes government-facing matters, makes her an ideal fit for our growing securities and regulatory defense practice.

According to the complaint, Komissarov is alleged to have "planned and executed a revenue scam" with DiMatteo, Clemenson, and Dickinson, which allegedly violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, along with related SEC rules. Customer data was central to the scam charges and involved what the regulator calls "useless customer data" that was then cycled through a number of multi-million-dollar transactions.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against multiple companies for their alleged involvement in an elaborate cryptocurrency scam that swindled more than $14 million from retail investors. The complaint charged crypto asset trading platforms Morocoin Tech Corp., Berge Blockchain Technology Co., Ltd., and Cirkor Inc., as well as investment clubs AI Wealth Inc., Lane Wealth Inc., AI Investment Education Foundation (AIIEF) Ltd., and Zenith Asset Tech Foundation, in connection with the operation.

While many of the findings - such as the Fed, FDIC, and OCC pressuring banks away from crypto through informal guidance, and the SEC's "enforce first, make rules never" approach - were previously known, the report now places them squarely in the Congressional record. The report identifies at least 30 entities that were effectively "debanked" through informal regulatory guidance and supervisory pressure. These businesses, the Committee claims, were forced out of the U.S. banking system without formal enforcement actions.
