On September 26, 2023, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a complaint against Dallas-based Damien Moran, and precious metals dealer companies Crown Bullion, Inc. and Bright Future Financial LLC (also d/b/a Oakhurst Metals) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The complaint alleges the business was fraudulently soliciting customers to purchase precious metals in self-directed individual retirement accounts, and misappropriating customer funds and assets.
As the complaint alleges, the defendants received more than $7 million from over 100 people, mainly elderly and retirement-aged, since March 2018 in their ongoing scheme, and have misappropriated most of those funds, in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations.
The matter is pending.
