I had a bad experience with a coin, and I'm hoping the SEC gets involved with investigating it. They claim it was not an ICO, but I never got the coins I expected. They were doing quite well, and are in the top 20 on coinmarketcap. I feel cheated, and have received a lot of flak since becoming more vocal about the issue... there were even some half-joking death threats and websites created to discredit me. They claim there was a deadline I missed. I maintain there was insufficient notice of the deadline, and that they just wanted to keep the coins themselves. Also, I'm not sure it's legal for them to keep something like that once it's paid for... It's a big question, worth a lot of money, and I'm glad the SEC is finally getting involved in this area.
