According to the Securities and Exchange Commission of the state of Alabama in the United States, Acoin Trading, as well as 96 other cryptocurrency websites, have been ordered to cease and desist from operating. In addition to making claims of "excessive returns," the sites often report fictitious account amounts and levy "undisclosed fees." Philip Zuka, commonly known as Sirzuka, was the founder and proprietor of the cryptocurrency trading company Acoin Trading, which he registered with Namecheap Inc. Following consideration, an investor opted to participate in a demo and made a $10,000 initial investment. In an attempt to withdraw his money, Zuka demanded an additional payment before any funds could be transferred from his bank account to a different account.
Cryptocurrency trading is "not suited for the general public", according to Singapore's central bank.
Cryptocurrency investors in Singapore may have to go through a risk awareness assessment before being allowed to trade. They will also not be able to use credit cards or any form of borrowing to trade cryptocurrencies. These are among the measures proposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect retail consumers. A risk awareness assessment is also being proposed to ensure that retail customers have sufficient knowledge of the risks involved. DPT service providers will not be allowed to offer any monetary or non-monetary incentives to retail customers upon sign-up, or to any person to encourage referrals of its service.
