An appeal from Kristoffer Krohn, a promoted involved in a crypto fraud case of $18 million related to the Green United scheme, was denied by a judge.

The United States SEC is going after legal action against Krohn, alleging that he deluded investors regarding the nature of investment opportunities offered through the sale of "Green Boxes" which were marketed as part of a crypto mining operation.

Krohn, in his appeal, contended that the Securities and Exchange Commission failed to demonstrate that the Green Boxes constituted securities or investment contracts.

Nonetheless, the court determined that there was enough proof to back up the SEC's allegations, showing that the marketing campaigns for these products met the criteria for securities under current regulations.

This ruling is part of a wider trend where courts are increasingly inspecting crypto-related offerings and their compliance with securities laws, reflecting ongoing regulatory efforts in the fast-evolving digital asset landscape.
