     On the industry front, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently sued two Bitcoin "minting" companies and their founders in the U.S. District Court for the State of Connecticut.

 

     The SEC accused GAW Miners LLC, ZenMiner LLC, and the two companies' founder Homero Garza of using virtual currency as bait to defraud investors of their money and set up a $20 million Ponzi scheme.

 

     Homero Garza's attorney, Marjorie Peerce, said she was disappointed and would not make any further comment before the trial.

 

     At 13:29 Beijing time on December 3, Bitcoin/USD was 368.13, Bitcoin/Euro was 348.72, and Bitcoin/ RMB was 2387.10.
