The US SEC, CFTC, and US Attorney for the Southern District of New York filed charges against Andrew, also known as Michael W. Ackerman, and his colleagues for defrauding investors out of $33 million through a bitcoin trading scam. Through companies named Q3 Trading Club and Q3 I LP, they purported to run a high-frequency trading system for cryptocurrencies and gave investors fake documentation on their in-house trading algorithm. Rather, they bought jewels, vehicles, and houses with money from investors. Andrew is accused of taking advantage of the public’s interest in digital assets for personal gain by lying to investors about the profitability of their trades, the security of their money, and even the falsity of trading account screenshots to give the idea that they were successful.

Andrew Katz, commonly known by his stage name Drew Katz, is accused of several felonies in Miami, Florida, including resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, falsely imprisoning someone, and tampering with witnesses. Katz had worked for the now-defunct “crypto trading firm” Seaquake.io. He has been convicted of crimes in several jurisdictions and for almost ten years. Apart from his legal issues, Katz is also suspected of misleading investors and acting menacingly toward individuals who report him. Despite having been found guilty of assault in New York City in February 2022, Katz was given bail and allowed to appear in court after paying $75,000 in fees. Additionally, he has been charged with utilizing social media to portray himself as a prosperous businessman in the cryptocurrency space, all the while dispelling unfavorable reports and refuting allegations by pretending to be victims and their friends. These claims indicate a history of dishonest behavior and intimidating techniques, which presents a concerning image of Katz’s conduct.
