Description
Cress sues Nexo Financial, alleging that he lost millions of dollars after Nexo fraudulently induced customers to engage in risky loans using their digital tokens as collateral for cash.

Defendants have burden of proof to establish that a securities law exemption exists and therefore a security is a “covered security” for purposes of state blue sky laws.
