Dropil is a cryptocurrency suite that provides tools to simplify trading, wallet, analysis, and more. Last year, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged the firm’s founders with an unregistered initial coin offering (ICO) case. According to a press release published officially by the SEC, Dropil founders were charged with raising $1.8 million from several investors through scammed ICOs. However, on Friday, the regulator obtained a partial ruling against the case.

Do Dropil founders funnel investor’s funds?
Dropil was founded by Jeremy McAlpine, Zachary Matar, and Patrick O’ Hara. In the first quarter of 2018, the firm raised funds by selling its DROP tokens. According to the SEC press release, the firm claimed that it would use the funds to trade other cryptocurrencies using Dropil’s algorithmic trading bot “DEX”.

However, the US SEC charged the founders of the project in earlier Q2 2021. According to law enforcement, Dropil Founders had funneled the raised funds to their personal accounts. SEC also accused the firm of forging profitability reports for DEX. Moreover, the regulator noted that there was no record that the DEX had ever operated or generated any trading profits.
