The SEC has agreed to a settlement of more than $12 million from defendants Joshua Jeppesen, Michael Noble, and Laura Mascola, accused of being a key part of Bitconnect, the well-known Ponzi scheme. The SEC has also lodged complaints against Ryan Maasen, Graig Grant and the more popular Trevon Jones. However, the settlement does not include their names, which means the investigation has not ceased yet.
