Summary

The Nevada Securities Division issued a Final Order to Cease and Desist against Ching Yit Lim, Susan Su, and B9 Crypto for alleged violations of the Nevada Uniform Securities Act. The order makes final a prior summary order after the respondents failed to request a hearing.

What changed

The Nevada Secretary of State Securities Division has issued a Final Order to Cease and Desist against Ching Yit Lim, Susan Su, and B9 Crypto (a Canadian cryptocurrency trading platform). This order finalizes a prior Summary Order to Cease and Desist, dated March 26, 2025, because the respondents failed to request a hearing within the statutory 45-day period. The Division alleges violations of the Nevada Uniform Securities Act, noting that the respondents were not licensed in Nevada and B9 Crypto operated domains within the state.

This final order prohibits Ching Yit Lim, Susan Su, and B9 Crypto from engaging in any securities-related activities in or from Nevada. Regulated entities and individuals should be aware of this enforcement action and ensure compliance with Nevada's securities laws, particularly concerning unlicensed activity and cryptocurrency platforms. Failure to comply with cease and desist orders can result in further penalties and legal action.

What to do next

  1. Review prior Summary Order to Cease and Desist dated March 26, 2025, for specific alleged violations.
  2. Ensure all individuals and entities involved in securities offerings or advice in Nevada are properly licensed.
  3. Consult legal counsel regarding any potential exposure or required actions related to this order.

NOTICE OF SUMMARY ORDER TO
CEASE AND DESIST

File No. INV23-172

Nevada Secretary Of State
Securities Division
MAR 25 2025

By:

NOTICE OF SUMMARY ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST,
INTENDED ACTION PURSUANT TO NRS 90.630(2)
AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING PURSUANT TO NRS 90.630(3)

COMES NOW, the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of State, Nevada
("Division"), and for its complaint against the above-named Respondents for violations of the Nevada
Uniform Securities Act, as codified in Chapter 90 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, alleges on
information and belief unless otherwise set forth, as follows:

PARTIES

  1. Respondent Ching Yit Lim ("Lim"), is an individual who, upon information and belief, is a resident of Ontario, Canada.
  2. Respondent Susan Su ("Su"), is an individual the Division has no knowledge of her
    actual whereabouts.

  3. Respondent B9 Crypto a/k/a Coin 9 Technology Co., Ltd. ("B9") is a Canada
    incorporated business (785474107RC0001) that operates an online cryptocurrency trading platform
    which upon information and belief is based out of Canada.

  4. B9 has no physical presence, no active business licenses, or any d/b/a's in Nevada.

  5. According to Division records, none of the Respondents have been licensed with the
    Division as a sales representative of a broker-dealer, investment adviser or issuer.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

  1. B9 has operated the following domain names in Nevada: a. https://b9.com/
  2. B9's website states that it is "[T]he safest and most efficient digital wealth platform" with the capability to instantly trade hundreds of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. B9's website further features investment products offering "flexible term, stable return, high return, no risk."
  3. Upon information and belief, B9 solicits investors through the use of social media profiles claiming to be successful investors in the cryptocurrency industry.
  4. In June 2023, Respondent Su made an introduction between an Unnamed Nevada Investor ("UI") and an unknown individual who stated she was Respondent Su's aunt ("SA"). According to UI, SA presented herself as a "Brokerage Manager of Binance" and began to ask the investor about their financial and liquidity positioning and explained what services B9 could provide.
  5. In late June 2023, SA and Respondent Su contacted UI in the creation and funding of a B9 trading account. SA conducted trading session with UI, wherein SA instructed UI on how to deposit funds, and set up and execute trades.
  6. Upon information and belief, cryptocurrency returns generated on the B9 platform are presented to investors through screenshots by Respondents. Further, investors have limited access to facilitate any transaction and initiate withdrawals.
  7. SA provided UI screenshots of the trades made on UI's behalf that showed a return on
    UI's investments.

  8. In early July 2023, UI was notified that his B9 trading account was locked. SA
    informed UI that this was due to a required verification of funds and stated that UI needed to deposit
    more funds before he would be able to withdraw the principal value in his account.

  9. Once UI completed the verification, his account went through additional scrutiny and
    was refrozen due to additional requirements set by B9, requiring additional deposits into UI's B9
    trading account.

  10. In August 2023, B9 requested additional funds from UI. If not received, UI's account
    would be permanently frozen and closed.

  11. B9 has since ceased all communication with UI. As of the date of this Complaint, UI
    has not received the requested return of his monies from B9, Su or SA.

  12. According to records maintained by the Division, Respondent Su has never been
    licensed with the Division as a sales representative of a broker/dealer or issuer. Upon information
    and belief, Su did not disclose this fact to UI.

  13. According to records maintained by the Division, B9 has never filed an application for
    the registration of securities, nor filed a notice of exemption from registration with the Division.
    Respondents did not disclose this fact to either the unnamed investor or other investors who may have
    been solicited.

STATUTORY BACKGROUND

  1. The Nevada Uniform Securities Act ("Act"), as codified in Chapter 90 of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") and regulates the offer, sale, and purchase of securities in or from the State of Nevada.
  2. NRS 90.285 defines "sale representative" as "a natural person other than a broker- dealer, authorized to act and acting for a broker-dealer or issuer effecting or attempting to effect purchase or sales of securities."
  3. NRS 90.295 defines a "security" as: [A] note, stock, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in a profit-sharing agreement, a limited partnership interest, an interest in a limited-liability company, collateral-trust certificate, reorganization certificate or subscription,

transferable share, investment contract, viatical settlement investment,
voting-trust certificate, certificate or deposit for a security, fractional
undivided interest in an oil, gas or other mineral lease or in payments
out of production of such a lease, right or royalty, a put, call, straddle or
option on a security, certificate of deposit or group or index of securities

or interim certificate for, receipt for, whole or partial guarantee of or
warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any of the foregoing.

  1.

  5. As set forth in NRS 90.630(1), if the Administrator of the Division reasonably believes
    that a security is being offered or sold in violation of the Act, or that a person is
    acting in violation of the Act, the Administrator may offer, without a prior hearing, a Summary Order
    against the person engaged in the prohibited activities, directing such person to desist and refrain from
    further activity until the security is registered or such person is licensed under the Act.

  6. Pursuant to NRS 90.630(2), the Administrator of the Division, after giving notice by
    registered certified mail and conducting a hearing in an administrative proceeding, unless the right to
    notice and hearing is waived by the person against whom the sanction is imposed, may: (a) issue an
    order against the person to cease and desist; (b) censure the person if he or she is a licensed broker-
    dealer, sales representative, investment adviser or representative of an investment adviser; (c) bar or
    suspend the person from association with a licensed broker-dealer or investment adviser in this State;
    (d) issue an order against an applicant, licensed person or other person who willfully violates this
    chapter, imposing a civil penalty of not more than $25,000 for each violation, or if the violation was
