Statement of Charges Against Zenith Asset Tech in Cryptocurrency Fraud
Summary
The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions Division of Securities entered a Statement of Charges (S-24-3882-25-SC01) against Zenith Asset Tech Foundation, Cirkor Inc., and 19 additional respondents on April 22, 2026. Between 2024 and 2025, the respondents allegedly defrauded at least 38 investors—including 3 Washington residents—out of nearly $9.9 million through cryptocurrency scams involving fake investment education foundations, fake trading platforms, fake AI-generated trading signals, and unregistered money transmitters. The respondents sold fake securities token offerings and were not registered to sell investments, allegedly failing to disclose material information about their AI bot system and their own registration status. Remedies sought include cease and desist orders and fines.
“Between 2024 and 2025, the Respondents defrauded at least 38 investors (including 3 Washington residents) out of nearly $9.9 million in a series of cryptocurrency scams, utilizing fake investment education foundations, fake trading platforms, fake AI generated trading signals, and unregistered money transmitters.”
Firms offering cryptocurrency investment products—particularly those marketing AI-driven trading signals or platforms—should confirm their money-transmitter registration status with applicable state regulators and ensure all material information about trading systems is fully disclosed to investors. This enforcement action illustrates that fake AI-generated signals are an active fraud vector that state securities regulators are pursuing under state securities statutes.

What changed
The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions entered a Statement of Charges (S-24-3882-25-SC01) against 21 respondents including Zenith Asset Tech Foundation, Cirkor Inc., and multiple associated entities for alleged violations of RCW 21.20.140, RCW 21.20.040, RCW 21.20.020, and RCW 21.20.010. The respondents are accused of operating a cryptocurrency fraud scheme between 2024 and 2025 that victimized at least 38 investors, using fake investment education foundations, fake trading platforms, fake AI-generated trading signals, and unregistered money transmission. The respondents allegedly sold fake securities token offerings without being registered to sell investments and failed to disclose material information about their AI bot system.
Cryptocurrency investment firms and unregistered securities sellers should note that this enforcement action signals active state-level scrutiny of fraudulent digital-asset schemes involving fake AI trading systems. Any firm offering cryptocurrency-related securities or acting as a money transmitter in Washington should verify registration status and ensure full disclosure of investment system mechanics to investors.
