The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Green United, alleging that the Utah-based company violated federal securities laws by selling fake crypto mining equipment worth $18 million. Green United and two individuals – the company’s founder, 46-year-old Utah resident Wright Thurston, and its main promoter, 43-year-old Utah resident Kristoffer Krohn – offered investments in $3,000 “Green Boxes,” specialised crypto mining machines that purported to mine GREEN tokens on the Green Blockchain, according to the SEC’s complaint.
