18
consideration (including the blockchain-based digital currencies bitcoin (BTC) and/or Ethereum
19

2. Tezos tokens are securities within the meaning of the California Corporations Code §
21
25019. As such, any offering or sale of such securities are required to be qualified under Cal. Corp
22
Code §§ 25111, 25112 or 25113. But in violation of California Corporations Code § 25110 and

1 3. In sum, Defendants capitalized on the recent enthusiasm for blockchain technology

2 and cryptocurrencies to raise funds through the ICO, illegally sold unqualified and unregistered

3 securities, used a Swiss-based entity in an unsuccessful attempt to evade U.S. securities laws, and are

4 now admittedly engaged in the conversion, selling, and possible dissipation of the proceeds that they

5 collected from the Class through their unregistered offering.1

6 4. Purportedly to raise money for the implementation of the Tezos Blockchain


2
7 -amending crypto- Defendants held an ICO, which is

8 similar in economic substance to a traditional Initial Public Offering ( IPO ). Through the ICO,
9 Defendants issued Tezos tokens to investors, in exchange for digital cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin

10 and/or Ethereum. Investors participated in the ICO with the reasonable expectation that the Tezos

11 tokens would appreciate in value as a result of the efforts of Defendants, including Arthur and

12 Kathleen Breitman enabling investors to exchange their Tezzies for other tokens, digital currencies,

13 and/or government-issued fiat currency (such as U.S. dollars).

14 5. The Tezos ICO has been widely reported as the largest ICO to date,3 with 65,627

15 Bitcoin and 361,122 Ethereum collected. At the time of the Tezos ICO, the digital currencies paid by

16 investors were valued at an estimated $232 million U.S. dollars. Today, the digital currencies

17 invested in the Tezos ICO are worth an estimated $1.2 billion U.S. Dollars as of December 11,

18 2017).
19 6. Defendants have profited, or stand to profit, significantly from the ICO. The

20 shareholders of Defendant Dynamic Ledger Solutions, Inc. (DLS) include Defendants Kathleen

21 Breitman, Arthur Breitman, Timothy Cook Draper, and Draper Associates. According to a

13 donations. Defendants have

15 material respects, identical to the attributes of the sale and purchase of an ownership interest in the

1 9. In short, the ICO for the Tezos tokens was an illegal offer and sale of securities for

2 which no qualification was in effect, and as to which no exemption from qualification was sought or

3 available. The ICO was a generalized solicitation made using statements posted on the Internet and

4 distributed throughout the world, including in the United States, and the securities were offered and

5 sold to Plaintiff and the general public.

6 10. Therefore, under Cal. Corp Code § 25503, Plaintiff and the Class are entitled to

7 recover the consideration paid for the Tezos tokens with interest thereon at the legal rate, or the

8 equivalent in monetary damages plus interest at the legal rate from the date of purchase. To the
9 extent that there are others who participated in the violation(s) in the specific roles listed in Cal. Corp

10 Code § 25504 and 25504.1, those persons are additionally liable without any further need for privity

11 Moss v. Kroner 197 Cal.App.4th 860, 875

12 (2011).

13 11. Moreover, unless the Defendants are permanently restrained and enjoined from

14 dissipating the proceeds of the ICO, they will continue to engage in the acts, practices, and courses of

15 business set forth in this Complaint, including, but not limited to, the conversion, selling, and

16 dissipation of ICO proceeds collected from the Class.

17 II. NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AND RELIEF SOUGHT


18
12. Plaintiffs bring this action pursuant to the California Corporate Securities Law of
19

20
Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.), and seek, as immediate relief, a temporary restraining order and a
21
preliminary injunction against Defendants: (a)
22
from, proceeds of the ICO; and (b) enjoining Defendants from making further transfers, dissipations
23
or conversions of the investments raised during the Tezos ICO, or using such funds in any further
24
purchases or transactions.

V. SUBSTANTIVE ALLEGATIONS
1
A. Background on Distributed Ledger or Blockchain-Enabled Means For Capital
2

3
34.
4
well as in an Investor Bulletin, the SEC aptly summarized the blockchain, ICOs, and token
5
distribution process.
6
35. Essentially, an ICO is a fundraising event in which an entity offers participants a
7
irtual currency most
8
commonly Bitcoin and Ethereum or fiat currency, such as U.S. Dollars).18
9
36. A virtual currency is a digital representation of
10
value that can be digitally traded and functions as a medium of exchange, unit of account, or store of
11
value. As of December 5, 2017, a Bitcoin could be purchased on an exchange for approximately
12

13
$455.81 USD. These virtual currencies have seen tremendous appreciation: Bitcoin has appreciated
14
1446% in one year; Ether has appreciated 6,360.62% in one year.
15
37. Rather than serving as a currency or unit of exchange, virtual tokens or coins
16
in an ICO may represent other rights. In almost every ICO including the Tezos ICO investors
17
purchase the tokens with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the entrepreneurial or
18
managerial efforts of others. Accordingly, in most cases including this one tokens or coins
19
sold in an ICO will be securities and may not be lawfully sold without registration with the SEC or
20
pursuant to an exemption from registration.19
21
38. After an ICO, tokens ,
22
distributed ledger or list of entries much like a stock ledger that is maintained by various
23
participants in a network of computers located around the world, including in California and
24

25 18 See S.E.C. v. REcoin Group Foundation, LLC, DRC World Inc. a/k/a Diamond Reserve Club,
and Maksim Zaslavskiy (E.D.N.Y Sept. 29, 2017, No. 1:17-cv-05725-RJD-RER).

1 throughout the United States. Blockchains use cryptography to process and verify transactions on the

2 ledger, providing comfort to users of the blockchain that entries are secure.

3 39. The Bitcoin and Ethereum virtual currencies also use blockchains to create and track

4 transactions in bitcoin and ether, respectively.20

5 40. Tezos tokens (also called tez, tezzies, or XTZ) were positioned by Tezos and its

7 Ethereum and Tezos are all decentralized ledgers powered by a blockchain. Bitcoin was the first

8 public blockchain and introduced the first truly decentralized form of electronic cash. Ethereum
9 followed suit by including smart-contracts in its platform, allowing a greater range of application to

10 be developed. Tezos takes this concept one step further by letting participants directly control the

11
21
12

13 41. All transactions on a blockchain are recorded in the network in theoretically

14 unchangeable, digitally-recorded data packages called blocks. Each block contains a batch of records

15 of transactions, including a timestamp and a reference to the previous block, linking the blocks

16 together in a chain. The system relies on cryptographic techniques for secure recording of

17 transactions. A blockchain can be shared and accessed by anyone with appropriate permissions. 22

18 42. A token may entitle its holders to certain rights related to a venture
19 underlying the ICO, such as rights to profits, shares of assets, rights to use certain services provided

20 by the issuer, and/or voting rights. In almost all cases, tokens may also be traded, thereby giving

21 investors a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial

22 efforts of others (i.e., the people operating the issuer whose efforts will impact the value of those

23 tokens on the secondary market). Tokens are frequently listed on online platforms, often called

1 Rengstorff Ave #78, Mountain View, CA, 94043), and continues to be owned and controlled by

2 Defendants Arthur Breitman, Kathleen Breitman, Draper, and Draper Associates.

3 47. In a pre-sale, ten early backers, including hedge funds and high net-worth individuals,

4 provided the Breitmans with $612,000 in exchange for XTZ tokens equivalent to $893,200.77 in

5 contributions (corresponding to a 31.48% discount).28

6 48. Around May 2017, the Tezos project started running out of cash, and Defendant

7 Kathleen Breitman reached out to Defendant Tim Draper, who invested $1.5 million into Tezos

8 through his firm, Draper Associates. As a result of the investment, Draper Associates also took a
9 minority stake in DLS, the company that controls the Tezos source code. 29

10 49. On or about April 24, 2017, the Foundation was formed as a Swiss nonprofit

11 (Stiftungen) in Zug, Switzerland, purportedly to promote the development and use of the Tezos

12 blockchain, and to be the recipient of ICO funds. Zug is a notorious haven for white collar

13 miscreants. Marc Rich the billionaire commodities trader who fled the United States in 1983 (and

16 the outlaw removed himself to Zug to take advantage of the anonymity and light taxes it offered, and

17 he made it the center of no-questions-asked trading. For anyone wanting to do deals, be they with

18 oil-rich-if-bloodstained despots or run-of-the-mill democracies, this was the place. In 2007 the
19 European Commission in Brussels accused Swiss cantons like Zug of giving illegal state aid through

20 giant corporate tax breaks. Should taxes increase in Zug, the town has another draw: secrecy. Zug

21 is tight-lipped, even for Switzerland. Tax records are confidential; At Zug's documentation center,

22 funded by local groups critical of Zug's tax system, archivists track Zug-registered companies by

15 which is not public, governs the sale of DLS and its intellectual property to the Foundation and states

16 that the Swiss federal supervisory authority for foundations must approve the agreement. It also

17 indicates the approval was required before the fundraiser took place. This approval has never taken

C. The Tezos Tokens Are Securities

2 69. The Tezos tokens are securities under both California and federal law. Under

3 California Corporations Code § 25019 California

4 courts have applied the federal test described in SEC v. W.f. Howey Co. 328 U.S. 293 (1946) in

5 determining whether a transaction is an investment contract.

6 70. An investment contract is an investment of money in a common enterprise with a

7 reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of

1 76. Tezos token holders stood to share in potential profits from the successful launch of

2 the Tezos token. Thus, a reasonable investor would have been motivated, at least in part, by the

3 prospect of profits on their investment in the Tezos project.

4 77. Defendant Draper told Reuters that cryptocurrencies are commodities like pork

5 bellies, and characterized acquiring Tezzies as a purchase rather than a donation.54

6 78. In addition, on July 26, 2017, Draper published an open letter to the SEC on

7 Facebook,55 i.e.,

1 81. In Section 3.2 of the Tezos White Paper, Defendants go on to describe -

2 of- which gives token-holders a dividend-like reward for mining tokens and

3 maintaining the Tezos blockchain:


We conjecture that the security of any decentralised currency requires to
4 incentivize the participants with a pecuniary reward (we are in the process of
5 finalizing the rewards schedule at the moment). As explained in the position paper,
relying on transaction costs alone suffers from a tragedy of the commons. In Tezos,
6 we rely on the combination of a bond and a reward.

7 Bonds are one year (bonds will now only last a single cycle, given the high
opportunity cost and little benefit to security of extending the bonding period past one
8
cycle) security deposits purchased by miners (endorsers will also be required to
9 purchase bonds). In the event of a double signing, these bonds are forfeited.

10 After a year (cycle), the miners (and endorsers) receive a reward along with
their bond to compensate for their opportunity cost. The security is primarily being
11 provided by the value of the bond and the reward need only be a small percentage of
that value.58

89. Inves

specifically, Tezos and its co-founders, and the Tezos development team. The Tezos investors relied
4
on the managerial and entrepreneurial efforts of Tezos and its co-founders, and the Tezos
5
development team, to manage and develop the Tezos project.
6
90. Defendants, especially the Breitmans, held themselves out to investors as experts in
7
Ethereum, the blockchain protocol on which Tezos operated (or will operate), and told investors on
8
multiple occasions that they were in the process of hiring additional developers.
9
91. Investors in Tezos reasonably expected the Tezos co-founders and the Tezos
10

11
92. The expertise of Defendants was critical in monitoring the operation of Tezos,
12
promoting Tezos, and safeguarding investor funds, etc. Investors had little choice but to rely on their
13
expertise. The Tezos blockchain protocol and governing structure were predetermined long before
14
the ICO was launched.
15
93. Defendant Arthur Breitman has even recently mocked investors for not being as
16
knowledgeable as he is regarding the development of Tezos. After a developer challenged him
17
because of the lack of news and delay in the development of Tezos
18
first of all? Maybe the issue is your absolute incompetence in terms of writing a code? Eitehr you
19
lied [to] us about three years of development prior to [the] ICO . . . [or] you are [an] incompetent
20
developer and your ent by stating:
21
Writing "a" code? You have zero
22
73
understanding of what such a project entails

94. Defendant Arthur Breitman has also put forth public statements admitting that the
24
progress of the Tezos project is dependant on his own personal efforts by stating, for instance:

for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and fiat currency through the Tezos Website, which was publicly-accessible,

including to individuals in California and throughout the United States. Because Tezos Tokens were

E. Infighting, Governance Problems, and Delays Emerge


1

2 100. The Breitman Defendants have recently been engaged in a very public ongoing power

3 struggle with Gevers regarding control over Defendant Tezos Foundation, and the proceeds from the

4 ICO.

5 101. Between August and October 2017, Defendants provided investors with few updates

6 on the Tezos project.

7 102. On or around October 18, 2017, Defendant Arthur Breitman published a blog post on

8 In early September we became aware that the president of the Tezos


9 Foundation, Johann Gevers, engaged in an attempt at self-dealing, misrepresenting to the council the
75
10 value of a bonus he attempted to grant himself.

11 103. The same day, an attorney for the Breitmans sent a 46-page letter to the two other

12 -person board (currently, and likely also at the time, Defendants

13 Diego Ponz and Guido Schmitz-

14

15 responsibilities. The -dealing, self-promotion and conflicts of

16 Breitmans later suggested via email that he step aside for a month

17 while they investigate.76

18 104. Gevers responded that he is not stepping down and that the Breitmans have been
19

20 legal structure and interfering with management and operations. Their interference has resulted in

21 costly delays in developing and launching the Tezos network and new currency (which Tezos

22 promised to have launched by now), according to Gevers.77 Gevers accused the Breitmans of

the Class
4

5 105. The Tezos Foundation has been liquidating the Bitcoin and Ethereum invested by
6 investors since July 17, 2017, shortly after the ICO ended.78 On July 18, 2017, Defendants posted the
7 following on the Tezos.ch website:
8 The Tezos Foundation currently holds over $220M worth of bitcoins and ethers.
To best serve the interests of the Tezos community, we intend to gradually
9 diversify our position by slowly selling some (but not all) of these holdings over
the coming months and purchasing a conservative portfolio of cash, stocks, bonds,
10 and precious metals. This will ensure that our organization is resilient in good
times, and bad times.79

1 114. On information and belief, the ongoing conversion, sale, and possible dissipation of

2 the ICO proceeds are controlled by some combination of Defendants Tezos Stiftung, DLS, Arthur

3 Breitman, Kathleen Breitman, Johann Gevers, Diego Ponz, Guido Schmitz-Krummacher, Timothy

6 website:
The multisignature procedure we use requires access to a secure location

115. The facts above demonstrate that an ongoing combination of the conversion of ICO
10
proceeds, accusations of self-dealing, a lack of transparency, a lack of regulatory oversight, a refusal
11
to acknowledge investor concerns or claims, and unreported payments, bonuses, and fees all threaten

9 121. Plaintiff has and will continue to fairly and adequately protect the interests of the

10 members of the Class and has retained counsel competent and experienced in class actions and

11 securities litigation. Plaintiff has no interests antagonistic to or in conflict with those of the Class.

12 122. Common questions of law and fact exist as to all Class members and predominate

13 over any questions solely affecting individual members of the Class. Among the questions of law and

14 fact common to the Class are:

15 a) California Corporate

16 Securities Law of 1968;

17 b) Whether Defendants offered or sold Tezos securities through the ICO;

18 c) Whether Defendants were required to qualify Tezos tokens pursuant to the California
19 Corporate Securities Law of 1968 for the Tezos ICO;

20 d) Whether the Tezos ICO violated the qualification provisions of the California Corporate

21 Securities Law of 1968;

22 e) Whether Defendants in the Tezos securities offering;

23 f) Whether Defendants controlled or were controlled by persons liable under Cal. Corp.

24 Code § 25503, or materially assisted in a violation of Cal. Corp. Code § 25110 pursuant

25 to Cal. Corp. Code § 25504.1;

26 g) Whether the conduct of Defendants violated the Unfair Competition Law;

27 h) The type and measure of damages suffered by Plaintiff and the Class; and

1 i) Whether Plaintiff and the Class are entitled to recover the consideration paid for the

2 Tezos tokens, with interest thereon at the legal rate, or the equivalent in monetary

3 damages plus interest at the legal rate from the date of purchase, and if so, the proper

4 calculation and amount of those damages.

5 123. A class action is superior to all other available methods for the fair and efficient

6 adjudication of this controversy since joinder of all members is impracticable. Furthermore, as the

7 damages suffered by individual Class members may be relatively small, the expense and burden of

8 individual litigation makes it impossible for members of the Class to individually redress the wrongs
9 done to them. There will be no difficulty in the management of this action as a class action.

1 business act or practice within the meaning of Business and Professions Code section

2 17200 et seq.

3 b) Defendants engaged in unfair business practices in violation of the Unfair

4 Competition Law because their business practices were immoral, unethical,

5 oppressive, and unscrupulous.

6 c) because they directly implicate

7 the public interest by impacting matters of great importance to the public. For

8 instance, the qualification requirements in securities


9 Securities Law of 1968 were enacted to protect the public from harm in transactions

10 involving securities, like the investments at issue here.

11 d) The harm to Plaintiff and members of the Class outweighs the utility of Defendants'

12 policy/practice and, consequently, Defendants' practice constitutes an unfair business

13 act of practice within the meaning of Business and Professions Code section 17200 et

14 seq.

22 they have suffered and will continue to suffer in the future.

23 138. Plaintiffs are entitled to restitution in the amount of their Tezos investment, because

24 that investment was obtained through unlawful and unfair business practices.
