New York to Charge Crypto Firms for Oversight
PROPOSED RULE MAKING
NO HEARING(S) SCHEDULED
Virtual Currency Licensee Assessments
I.D. No. DFS-03-23-00002-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action: Addition of Part 102 to Title 23 NYCRR.
Statutory authority: Financial Services Law, sections 102, 201, 202, 206, 301 and 302
Subject: Virtual Currency Licensee Assessments.
Purpose: To set forth the basis for allocating costs and expenses attributable to virtual currency businesses for FSL assessments.
Text of proposed rule: 23 NYCRR PART 102 VIRTUAL CURRENCY LICENSEE ASSESSMENTS
§ 102.1 Background.
In 2015, the Department of Financial Services (“Department”) adopted 23 NYCRR Part 200, which required persons engaged in virtual currency business activity, as defined in 23 NYCRR 200.2(q), to obtain a license, subject to certain exemptions, before engaging in such activity in New York. This licensing regime was created under the authority granted to the Department by the Financial Services Law (“FSL”).
Generally, the Department’s costs and expenses are charged to and paid by persons regulated by the Department. At the time that Part 200 was adopted, FSL section 206 provided that the costs and expenses of the Department would be respectively charged to and paid by the persons regulated by the Department pursuant to the Banking Law or the Insurance Law, with no provision made for the assessment of costs for persons regulated pursuant to the FSL. In 2022, the Laws of New York, Chapter 58, Part III, amended FSL Section 206 (a), as of June 30, 2022, to require the Department to assess the costs and expenses of regulating persons licensed pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200 (“Licensees”). FSL section 206 (a) now states: “[p]ersons regulated under [the FSL] that engage in ‘virtual currency business activity,’ as that term is defined by the department, shall be assessed by the superintendent for the operating expenses of the department that are solely attributable to regulating such persons….”
To effectuate the authority granted by the recent amendment of the FSL, this regulation sets forth the basis for allocating the Department’s costs and expenses among Licensees, and the process for making such assessments. This regulation only applies to Licensees, and the assessment only covers the costs and expenses associated with the Department’s oversight of each person’s virtual currency business activities. Accordingly, to the extent that a person is licensed to engage in virtual currency business activities under the FSL, and concurrently as a money transmitter pursuant to Article XIII-B of the Banking Law, such person will be billed separately for each license. To the extent that a person holds multiple licenses to engage in virtual currency business activities pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200, such person will be billed separately for each license. Persons who engage in virtual currency business activities as a limited purpose trust company or a banking organization will continue to be assessed under 23 NYCRR Part 101. To such an extent that a person holds both a limited purpose trust charter under the Banking Law and a license pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200, such person will be billed separately for each charter and license.
§ 102.2 Definitions. The following definitions apply in this Part:
(a) Hourly Rate means the average hourly salary and fringe benefit cost of the examiners and staff assigned to the supervision of Licensees plus a multiplier, as determined by the superintendent, representing a portion of the other operating overhead expenses of the Department.
(b) Custody Basis means the measurement tool used to assess 50% of the Supervisory Hours, as defined below, among Licensees. The Custody Basis is based on the total United States Dollar value of virtual currency held on behalf of customers by each Licensee averaged over the prior four quarter-end balances reported. Depending on the total virtual currency custody average, the Custody Basis for each Licensee will be categorized by size as small, medium, or large, resulting in an allocation, respectively, of 5%, 15%, and 30% of 50% of the Supervisory Hours.
(c) Custody Basis Assessment for an individual Licensee means the product of the Custody Basis Hours and the Hourly Rate.
(d) Custody Basis Hours means the Custody Basis share of either 5%, 15%, or 30% of the total Supervisory Hours, divided by the total number of Licensees that have the same Custody Basis share.
(e) Licensee means any person who is licensed pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200. The term Licensee shall only apply to the virtual currency business activities, as that term is defined in 23 NYCRR 200.2(q), of persons licensed pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200.
(f) Person means an individual, partnership, corporation, association, joint stock association, trust, or other entity, however organized. (g) Regulatory Component represents the cost of examining licensees. For an individual Licensee means the Total Operating Cost, as defined below, less the Supervisory Component divided by the total number of Licensees.
(h) Supervisory Component for an individual Licensee means the sum of its Transaction Volume Basis Assessment, as defined below, and its Custody Basis Assessment.
(i) Supervisory Hours means the total number of hours worked by staff attributable to the ongoing supervision of Licensees, including the monitoring of Licensees, the processing of license or material business changes, and responding to inquiries.
(j) Total Operating Cost means:
(1) the sum of the total operating expenses of the Department that are solely attributable to its oversight of Licensees; and
(2) the proportion deemed just and reasonable by the superintendent of the other operating overhead expenses of the Department which may be assessed against Licensees under FSL section 206(a).
(k) Transaction Basis Hours means the Transaction Volume Basis, as defined below, share of either 5%, 15%, or 30% of the total Supervisory Hours, divided by the total number of Licensees that have the same Transaction Volume Basis share.
(l) Transaction Volume Basis means the measurement tool used to allocate 50% of the Supervisory Hours among Licensees. The Transaction Volume Basis is based on the total number of virtual currency transactions by each Licensee in New York for the prior calendar year. Depending on the total number of virtual currency transactions, the Transaction Volume Basis for each Licensee will be categorized by size as small, medium, or large, resulting in an allocation, respectively, of 5%, 15%, and 30% of 50% of the Supervisory Hours.
(m) Transaction Volume Basis Assessment for an individual Licensee means the product of the Transaction Basis Hours and the Hourly Rate.
§ 102.3 Billing and Assessment Process.
The New York State fiscal year begins April 1 and ends March 31 of the following calendar year. Each Licensee subject to assessment pursuant to this Part is billed five times for a fiscal year: four quarterly assessments (each approximately 25 percent of the anticipated annual amount) based on the estimated budget to cover the Total Operating Cost at the time of the billing, and a final assessment (or true-up), based on the actual Total Operating Cost for the fiscal year. Any Licensee that is licensed for any part of a quarter shall be assessed for the full quarter. Such amounts shall be paid within 30 days of the date of such billing.
§ 102.4 Computation of Assessment.
The total annual assessment for a Licensee shall be the sum of its Supervisory Component and its Regulatory Component.
§ 102.5 Penalties/Enforcement Actions.
All Licensees shall be subject to all applicable penalties, including late fees and interest, provided for by the FSL, the State Finance Law or other applicable laws. Enforcement actions for nonpayment could include suspension, revocation, expiration or termination of a person’s license or such other actions as the superintendent may deem appropriate.
§ 102.6 Special Assessments.
When the superintendent shall determine that the expenses associated with a specific examination, investigation or review are best allocated solely to the individual Licensee or Licensees subject to such examination or investigation, rather than to all Licensees generally or any subgroup thereof, such expenses shall be billed separately as provided for in this subdivision. The time of each person associated with such examination or investigation shall be multiplied by the average costs of the examiners and specialists at their respective grade levels assigned to such examination or investigation, plus expenses for travel outside of New York, and the resulting amount shall be assessed separately to each such Licensee subject to such examination or investigation in such amounts as the superintendent shall deem appropriate. Alternatively, if another entity or person is selected to perform an examination, investigation or review of an individual Licensee or Licensees, the expenses associated with such examination, investigation and review shall be the amount of the contract for such services and such portion of the department’s administrative expenses associated with such contract as the superintendent shall deem appropriate. The resulting amount shall be assessed separately to each such Licensee subject to such examination, investigation or investigation in such amounts as the superintendent shall deem appropriate. Such special assessments shall be billed within 180 days after the calendar quarter within which such expenses were incurred. Such amounts shall be paid within 30 days of the date of such billing. In making a determination to make a special assessment and to allocate such assessment between one or more Licensees, the superintendent shall include such factors as she or he shall deem appropriate, including, but not limited to: the significance of the examination to the conduct of business by a given Licensee or group of Licensees; the potential seriousness of any violations of law or regulation identified by, or under review in, such examination or investigation; and the extent to which a Licensee attempted to cover up or failed to disclose the existence of such violations.
FSL Section 206(a) now requires the Superintendent to assess the costs and expenses of the Department that are attributable to its oversight of persons licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200 (“licensees”) to such persons. The Laws of 2022, Chapter 58, Part III, effective June 30, 2022. FSL Section 301 sets forth the powers of the Superintendent under relevant law.
FSL Section 302 sets forth the power of the Superintendent to prescribe, withdraw or amend rules and regulations involving financial products and services, effectuating and interpreting the provisions of the
FSL, Banking Law, and Insurance Law, and governing the procedures to be followed in the practice of the Department.
2. Legislative Objectives: To require the Superintendent, consistent with the Department’s funding by the persons it regulates, to charge the costs and expenses of regulating licensees to such regulated entities.
3. Needs and Benefits: FSL Section 206(a) was amended to provide that persons regulated under the FSL that “engage in ‘virtual currency business activity,’ as that term is defined [in 23 NYCRR 200.2(q)], shall be assessed by the superintendent for the operating expenses of the Department that are solely attributable to regulating such persons in such proportions as the superintendent shall deem just and reasonable.” The Department is fully funded by assessments on the persons it regulates. Previously, FSL Section 206 only authorized and required the Department to assess those persons licensed under the Banking or Insurance Laws for the costs of the Department’s operations. In recognition of the virtual currency licensing system created under the authority granted to the Department by the FSL, the amendment to Section 206 incorporates the new licensing regime into the Department’s existing assessment authority.
To effectuate the mandate of the revised FSL Section 206, the regulation sets forth the proposed basis for allocating the Department’s costs and expenses among licensees in proportion to the costs of regulating each individual licensee. In developing the proposal, the Department reviewed the existing methodology used to assess other industries regulated by the Department and considered how to best apply existing frameworks to licensees.
The resulting proposal applies the general framework used to assess the costs of the Department under the Banking Law and tailors it to reflect the unique nature of virtual currency business activity and the diversity of business models licensed under 23 NYCRR Part 200. The proposed methodology seeks to allocate the Department’s costs and expenses among licensees based on the amount of work required to regulate licensees of varying sizes and complexity, with larger, more complex licensees being assessed a greater share of the Department’s costs and expenses in recognition of the additional resources required to effectively regulate and supervise them.
The proposed regulation uses two components to allocate the Department’s costs and expenses: a regulatory and supervisory component. The Regulatory Component, as defined in proposed section 102.2, captures the general costs of regulating persons engaged in virtual currency business activity, including the costs to perform ongoing monitoring of existing licensees, to process license and material change requests, and to respond to general inquiries. The supervisory component, as defined in section 102.2, will vary according to the size and complexity of each licensee. Accordingly, 50% of the supervisory component will be allocated based on the total number of virtual currency transactions by a licensee in the State of New York (defined in section 102.2 as “Transaction Volume Basis”) and the other 50% will be allocated based on a licensee’s total virtual currency held on behalf of customers(“Custody Basis”). Licensees with more significant numbers of transactions and larger assets under management will be assessed a greater percentage of the supervisory component.
Initially, the allocation of the Transaction Volume Basis will be computed as follows based on the volume of operations of each licensee:
(1) For each licensee that engages in 1 to 50,000 transactions per year, the Transaction Volume Basis allocation is 5%;
(2) For each licensee that engages in 50,001 to 4,000,000 transactions per year, the Transaction Volume Basis allocation is 15%; and
(3) For each licensee that engages in 4,000,001 transactions or more per year, the Transaction Volume Basis allocation is 30%.
Similarly, the Custody Basis will be computed as follows:
(1) For licensees that have average virtual currency customer assets valued up to up to $100,000,000, the Custody Basis assessment is 5%;
(2) For licensees that have average virtual currency customer assets valued from $100,000,001 to $1,000,000,000, the Custody Basis assessment is 15%; and
(3) For licensees that have average virtual currency customer assets of $1,000,000,001 or more, the Custody Basis assessment is 30%.
The allocation will then be divided equally among every licensee that falls into the size categories listed above.
The Department expects that the ranges that dictate entity size will be adjusted periodically as the industry continues to develop. Any changes in these assessment brackets will be communicated to licensees by electronic mail. The Department also anticipates posting notices concerning changes and its current assessment methodology on its website.
The regulatory component captures the fixed costs of periodic examinations and other shared services (such as cybersecurity and anti-money laundering) performed by the Department that are related to cryptocurrency companies. As these costs are expected to fluctuate less, the regulatory portion of the assessment will be a pro-rated, fixed cost for each licensee.
It is important to note that this regulation only applies to persons licensed pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200, and the assessment only covers the costs and expenses associated with the Department’s oversight of each licensee’s virtual currency business activities. Accordingly, to the extent that a licensee is also licensed as money transmitter pursuant to Article XIII-B of the Banking Law, such licensee will be billed separately, pursuant to the existing methodology for assessing money transmitters, for its money transmission activity. To the extent that a licensee holds multiple licenses to engage in virtual currency business activities pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200, such person will be billed separately for each license. Persons who engage in virtual currency business activities as a limited purpose trust company or a banking organization will continue to be assessed under the Banking Law. To such an extent that a person holds both a limited purpose trust charter under the Banking Law and a license pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200, such person will be billed separately for each charter and license.
4. Costs: In accordance with the mandate imposed by FSL Section 206, the proposed regulation increases costs for licensees, adding an assessment for the cost of regulation that does not currently exist. It is difficult to estimate exactly what the costs will be for a particular licensee due to the variable nature of the business and the fact that the contemplated assessment will vary depending on the size and complexity of each licensee. The Department has engaged with licensees to provide an overview of the proposed assessment methodology and how it would impact them.
5. Local Government Mandates: The proposed amendment does not impose any new programs, services, duties or responsibilities upon any county, city, town, village, school district, fire district or other special district.
6. Paperwork: There are no new record keeping or filing requirements that will be imposed on the industry as a result of the proposed regulation. The Department will calculate the assessments based on reporting that the industry is already required to provide to the Department. Of course, licensees will record payments made on their own accounting records in the normal course of business.
7. Duplication: The regulation does not duplicate, overlap or conflict with any other regulations.
8. Alternatives: A regulation is necessary to specify how the allocation of costs and expenses required by the recent amendment to FSL Section 206 will be made. In developing the proposed regulation, the Department weighed several alternative metrics to allocate the assessment. The assessment should account for the fact that more complex institutions generally require more time and effort to properly regulate. The Department posted a draft text of this regulation on its website for 10 days to solicit comment from small businesses that might be affected. The Department did not receive any written comments.
9. Federal Standards: Federal law does not govern the assessment of state-licensed persons engaged in virtual currency business activities.
10. Compliance Schedule: The proposed amendment will take effect upon publication of the Notice of Adoption in the State Register. Assessments pursuant to the adopted regulation will be billed for the second quarter of the next fiscal year that starts on April 1, 2023. Any unforeseen delays in the adoption of this regulation may delay billing to a later quarter. The Department is striving to provide licensees with informal billing estimates before the adoption of this regulation.
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
1. Effect of Rule: The proposal does not have any impact on local governments. An amendment to Section 206 of the Financial Services Law requires the Superintendent of Financial Services (“Superintendent”) to assess the costs and expenses of the Department of Financial Services (the “Department”) that are attributable to its oversight of persons licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200 (“licensees”). The Laws of 2022, Chapter 58, Part III, effective June 30, 2022. The proposed regulation establishes the methodology by which the Department will assess licensees. Thirty-one (31) companies presently regulated by the Department will become subject to assessments under Part 102. The Department believes thirteen (13) of these firms presently qualify as small businesses that employ less than 100 employees.
2. Compliance Requirements: The regulation does not change existing compliance requirements. Rather, the regulation establishes the methodology, in compliance with the requirement of FSL Section 206, by which the Department will assess its costs and expenses to Licensees in reasonable proportion to the costs and expenses of regulating them.
3. Professional Services: It is not anticipated that small businesses will require any professional services to comply with this amendment.
4. Compliance Costs: Companies subject to the new assessment will start making quarterly payments in 2023 after the State’s new fiscal year commences. The Department cannot estimate the annual cost of the assessments for specific firms or all firms collectively at this time. The proposed methodology in Part 102 requires computation of the Department’s labor costs and the aggregate transactional activity of the assessed firm when computing an assessment. Otherwise, licensees will not bear any additional compliance costs in terms of record keeping or reporting.
5. Economic and Technological Feasibility: No additional technological burden on regulated entities which are small businesses is expected. In accordance with the mandate imposed by FSL Section 206, the proposed regulation increases costs for licensees, adding an assessment for the cost of regulation that does not currently exist. It is difficult to estimate exactly what the costs will be for a particular licensee due to the variable nature of the business and the fact that the contemplated assessment will vary depending on the size and complexity of each licensee.
6. Minimizing Adverse Impact: The assessment methodology in Part 102 is designed to decease the burden on smaller and less complex Licensees. Larger and more complex businesses will pay comparatively higher assessments.
7. Small Business and Local Government Participation: This regulation does not impact local governments. The Department complied with SAPA Section 202-b (6) by posting the proposed rule on its website for informal outreach and notified all regulated companies subject to the proposed assessment that a draft rule had been posted.
The Department also will comply with SAPA section 202-b(6) by publishing its proposal in the State Register and posting the proposal on its website again.
Rural Area Flexibility Analysis
The Department of Financial Services (“Department”) finds that the rule will not have any adverse impact on rural areas or impose new substantial reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements on public or private entities in rural areas in New York State. None of the existing regulated companies that will become subject to 23 NYCRR 102 are rural. The rule provides for assessments of firms chartered or licensed by the Department. The rule applies to all chartered or licensed companies active in the virtual currency business, whether they operate in rural or non-rural areas and should not impact them differently based on location. The rule does not impose any new reporting requirements on any regulated entity.
Job Impact Statement
In compliance with the mandate established by Section 206 of the Financial Services Law, the Superintendent of Financial Services (“Superintendent”) is required to assess the costs and expenses of the Department of Financial Services (the “Department”) that are attributable to its oversight of persons licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity pursuant to 23 NYCRR Part 200 (“licensees”) to such persons. The proposed regulation establishes the methodology by which the Department will assess licensees.
While the proposal will increase costs on licensees, subjecting them to assessments as all other persons regulated by the Department are, it is not expected to adversely impact jobs or employment opportunities in New York State. The proposal was developed while considering the current financial condition of licensees and projected changes in the industry -
Illinois to Open Adult-Use Retail Application Window January 30th
Pritzker Administration Announces Timeline for Next Cannabis Dispensary License Lottery
CHICAGO – Following extensive conversations with lawmakers and other stakeholders, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) has announced the timeline for the next round of cannabis dispensary licenses. Applications for the lottery will be accepted starting in January. Those interested in applying should review the rules, a mock application, a proposed timeline, and other relevant documents available now on the Department’s Adult Use Cannabis program webpage. This follows the release of 192 conditional dispensary licenses earlier this year, all to social equity applicants.
“Illinois is committed to having the most accessible and equitable cannabis industry in the nation, and we look forward to issuing additional social equity licenses and cementing our status as a national leader,” said Gov. JB Pritzker. “My administration will continue working to ensure the industry reflects the diversity of our great state, and I wish to thank all stakeholders for their hard work on this process to ensure that happens.”
IDFPR will begin accepting applications for 55 additional conditional cannabis dispensary licenses on Monday, January 30, 2023. The 55 licenses will be distributed across the 17 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Regions. All applications will be submitted online through the Department’s website.
Applicants must register as a business and provide certain basic information, such as the name of their organization, list of principal officers, contact information, and a $250 fee. During the license lottery process, principal officers cannot be included on more than one lottery entry and applicants cannot have more than one lottery entry across all 17 regions.
While the rules for the lottery process do provide flexibility on timing, IDFPR currently anticipates accepting applications for two weeks, through Tuesday, February 14, 2023. IDFPR will then publish a list of lottery participants by Tuesday, February 21, 2023. After a period for applicants to contest the list of lottery participants, IDFPR may publish an updated list based on any necessary corrections and contestations. As soon as possible after the final participant list is published, IDFPR will conduct a lottery with the Illinois Lottery and publish the certified results after the lottery has concluded.
Each applicant drawn for an opportunity for a conditional license will have 45 calendar days to prove certain social equity eligibility criteria, including proving it is 51% or more owned or controlled by one or more individuals who each meet the combination of a certain set of criteria. That criteria may be found here, along with a helpful guide of acceptable documents.
IDFPR will have 60 calendar days after the lottery to ensure the 55 applicants selected in the lottery meet the criteria detailed above. Applicants selected in the lottery will be provided an opportunity to provide supplemental information to satisfy these criteria. If an applicant selected in the lottery does not provide the supplemental information, the conditional license will be offered to the next applicant drawn in that BLS Region. The applicant must then meet the social equity eligibility criteria.
“This improved process provides increased accessibility and opportunity to individuals who, either directly or in the communities they call home, were harmed by the failed war on drugs,” said Mario Treto, Jr., Secretary of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. “We look forward to applying the lessons learned from our first round of conditional dispensary licenses to better the means of welcoming more entrepreneurs to the most equitable cannabis program in the country.”
All updates and additional information will be found on IDFPR’s Adult Use Cannabis Program webpage.

The Great Awakening: FTX Stole Customer Money
Testimony of Mr. John J. Ray III CEO, FTX Debtors
December 13, 2022
House Financial Services Committee
Chairwoman Waters, Ranking Member McHenry, distinguished members of the Committee: thank you for the invitation to appear before you today. I truly appreciate – and am very grateful for – your interest in this matter, and I hope my testimony can be helpful to you as the Committee continues its inquiry into the collapse of FTX and the efforts that are underway to help those who have been harmed.
I accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer of the FTX Group1 in the early morning hours of November 11. Immediately, it became clear to me that Chapter 11 was the best course available to preserve any remaining value in the FTX Group, which was in deep financial distress. My first act as CEO was to authorize the Chapter 11 filings of over 100 FTX entities.
I, along with a comprehensive team, including experts and consultants with a wide array of relevant skills, are now working on behalf of the FTX Group to achieve one fundamental goal: maximizing value for FTX’s customers and creditors so that we can mitigate, to the greatest extent possible, the harm suffered by so many.
To give you a sense of my background and how I ended up in this role: I have over 40 years of legal and restructuring experience. I have been the Chief Restructuring Officer or Chief Executive Officer in several large and vexing corporate failures involving allegations of criminal activity and malfeasance, including the Enron bankruptcy. I also have experience in bankruptcies involving novel financial and cross-border asset recovery and maximization.
Nearly all of these situations share common characteristics, ranging from gross mismanagement, excessive leverage, failures of internal controls, failures of external checks as a result of audit firm failures, or insufficient board governance. But never in my career have I seen such an utter failure of corporate controls at every level of an organization, from the lack of financial statements to a complete failure of any internal controls or governance whatsoever.
Although our investigation is ongoing and detailed findings will have to await its conclusion, the FTX Group’s collapse appears to stem from the absolute concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of grossly inexperienced and unsophisticated individuals who failed to implement virtually any of the systems or controls that are necessary for a company that is entrusted with other people’s money or assets.
Some of the unacceptable management practices at the FTX Group identified so far include: The use of computer infrastructure that gave individuals in senior management access to systems that stored customer assets, without security controls to prevent them from redirecting those assets;
The storing of certain private keys to access hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto assets without effective security controls or encryption;
The ability of Alameda, the crypto hedge fund within the FTX Group, to borrow funds held at FTX.com to be utilized for its own trading or investments without any effective limits;
The commingling of assets;
The lack of complete documentation for transactions involving nearly 500 investments made with FTX Group funds and assets; The absence of audited or reliable financial statements;
The lack of personnel in financial and risk management functions, which are typically present in any company close to the size of FTX Group; and
The absence of independent governance throughout the FTX Group.With that understanding, as soon as I gained control on November 11, I began implementing a restructuring plan that will serve as the roadmap for navigating the FTX debtor entities through Chapter 11 and to a final resolution with its customers and creditors.
That plan has five core objectives:
The first objective, Implementation of Controls, is already well underway. That work involves building accounting, audit, cash management, cybersecurity, human resources, risk management and other systems that did not exist, or did not exist to an appropriate degree, prior to my appointment. We are not relying on prior management, but instead have hired a new Chief Financial Officer, a new Head of Human Resources and Administration and a new Head of Information Technology, all of whom have deep experience in their areas of core competency and have also managed other, large-scale corporate failures. In addition, I have engaged a team of independent third-party professionals in the necessary areas of restructuring, forensic accounting, tax disciplines, and cybersecurity, including Alvarez & Marsal, Alix Partners, Ernst & Young, respectively, along with a cybersecurity firm.
The second objective, Asset Protection & Recovery, is also a top priority. We are working around the clock to locate and secure the property of the estate, a substantial portion of which may be missing, misappropriated, or not readily traceable due to the lack of proper record keeping. We are working with Nardello & Company, Chainalysis, BitGo, Alvarez & Marsal and our cybersecurity firm on these recovery efforts. Thus far, we have secured more than $1 billion of digital assets to protect against the risk of theft or unauthorized transfers.
The third objective is Transparency and Investigation. Our investigative and cyber security teams, led by the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, are already well into the process of gathering the evidence that will provide us with an understanding of what led to this collapse. They are working in close coordination with U.S. and foreign regulatory and law enforcement authorities. Their team includes attorneys who have served as Directors of Enforcement at the SEC and CFTC, and as Chiefs of the Securities Fraud, Money Laundering and Asset Forfeiture, and Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Units at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York. We welcome the transparency of the Chapter 11 process and the oversight of the federal Bankruptcy Court.
In addition, the entire process is being overseen by our newly appointed independent Board of Directors, in consultation with its independent counsel at Quinn Emmanuel, a firm that also has deep investigatory experience. The independent Board of Directors is chaired by former U.S. Attorney and Chief Judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the Honorable Joseph Farnan.
Our fourth objective is Efficiency and Coordination, which requires cooperation and coordination with insolvency proceedings of subsidiary companies in other jurisdictions.
The fifth and final objective is the Maximization of Value for all stakeholders through the eventual reorganization or sale of the complex array of businesses, investments, digital assets, and physical property of the FTX Group.
A fundamental, overarching challenge with each of these objectives is that we are, in many respects, starting from near-zero in terms of the corporate infrastructure and record-keeping that one would expect to find in a multi-billion dollar international business. Still, in just over four weeks since assuming control of FTX, we have instituted meaningful steps to gain command and control and are well on our way to achieve the goals outlined above. Every week we gain a better understanding of what occurred and the path forward, which will be shared with interested and affected parties through the Chapter 11 processes.
The scope of the investigation underway is enormous. It involves detailed tracing of money flows and asset transfers from the time of FTX’s founding, and highly complex technological efforts to identify and trace crypto assets. We are in the process of collecting and reviewing dozens of terabytes of documents and data, including records of billions of individual transactions, and we are leveraging sophisticated technology and expertise to identify and trace additional transactions and assets.
We are also summarizing this information in a manner that will make the information useful, not only to the bankruptcy estate, but also to governmental and regulatory stakeholders in the U.S., including the House Financial Services Committee, and around the world. We know that our investigative record will be the foundation for work done by many others, and we are committed to building a reliable foundation.
Questions have been raised as to why all of the FTX Group companies were included in the Chapter 11 filing, particularly FTX US. The answer is because FTX US was not operated independently of FTX.com. Chapter 11 protection was necessary both to avoid a “run on the bank” at FTX US and to allow our team the time to identify and protect its assets. Since the time of the filing, I have become even more confident this was the correct decision, as the books and records issues at FTX US and the many relationships between FTX US and the other FTX Group companies become clearer.
Questions also have been raised about what I think of the many opinions expressed by former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and his recent offers to assist in the recovery effort. I will not comment on his statements other than to say that this is a professional investigation that is proceeding in a professional manner. We have a fact-finding process in place, and we will seek information from Mr. Bankman-Fried and others through that process, as appropriate.
In the absence of cooperation from responsible parties or any appropriate system to track and protect crypto assets, we are continuing our painstaking forensic efforts to account for all of the assets, both as to the FTX US and FTX.com exchanges, as well as Alameda. These efforts pose complex technical challenges that are made even more vexing by the massive amount of data that must be reviewed. At the same time, the review must be conducted in a highly secure fashion to avoid the risk of compromise or loss of assets.
While many things are unknown at this stage, and many questions remain, we know the following:
First, customer assets from FTX.com were commingled with assets from the Alameda trading platform.
Second, Alameda used client funds to engage in margin trading which exposed customer funds to massive losses.
Third, the FTX Group went on a spending binge in late 2021 through 2022, during which approximately $5 billion was spent buying a myriad of businesses and investments, many of which may be worth only a fraction of what was paid for them.
Fourth, loans and other payments were made to insiders in excess of $1 billion.
Fifth, Alameda’s business model as a market maker required deploying funds to various third party exchanges which were inherently unsafe, and further exacerbated by the limited protections offered in certain foreign jurisdictions.
We are also making progress in repairing the regulatory relationships of the FTX Group around the world. I would like to especially say to regulators – in the U.S. and abroad – that I completely understand the depth of outrage and frustration with what happened. I have instructed my team to cooperate as comprehensively and completely as possible, and much of our time so far has been spent on the truly herculean task of gathering and organizing information responsive to the many requests we have received.
I know that the resolution of the Chapter 11 process, as well as the investigation into the causes of the FTX Group’s collapse, are of keen interest to this Committee and to your constituents. Additionally, there are many others who need and deserve answers, including customers, creditors, investors, counter-parties, employees, and regulators. We are positioning ourselves to provide each of these constituents with the answers they deserve.
Although a bankruptcy proceeding of this unprecedented nature will take some time to run its course, I want you to know that I am committed to working as quickly as possible to investigate what happened in the lead-up to November 11 in order to formulate conclusions that can hopefully help to inform this Committee’s work.
I should note that my ability to comment on certain matters today will be materially limited by the state of the FTX Group’s books and records, ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, and the numerous, ongoing investigations by U.S. law enforcement and regulators.
But I look forward to answering your questions to the best of my ability.

California Judge Orders Kushy Punch Inc. Defendants to Pay $128 million
Largest cannabis fine to date in the United States.
20CHCV00560 December 5, 2022 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, et al. vs VERTICAL BLISS, INC., et al. 8:30 AM
Judge: Honorable Stephen P. Pfahler
CSR: None
Judicial Assistant: Adrina Chebishyan
ERM: None Courtroom Assistant: Christy Andrade
Deputy Sheriff: None
APPEARANCES: For Plaintiff(s): ETHAN A. TURNER (Telephonic) by Michael Yun For
Defendant(s): No Appearances
NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS: Hearing on Motion for Summary Judgment; Status Conference; Order to Show Cause Re: Sanctions against the Defendants for failure to appear on 10/12/2022 The matters are called for hearing. The Court reads and considers the moving papers in support of Hearing on Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court’s Tentative Ruling is published. Moving Party submits to the Court’s Tentative Ruling in open court, and the Court adopts its tentative ruling as its final ruling as follows:
PLAINTIFF DEPARTMENT OF CANNABIS CONTROL’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT RULING:
Granted.
Request for Judicial Notice: Granted under Evidence Code sections (b), (c), and (d).
“A plaintiff … has met his or her burden of showing that there is no defense to a cause of action if that party has proved each element of the cause of action entitling the party to judgment on the cause of action. Once the plaintiff … has met that burden, the burden shifts to the defendant … to show that a triable issue of one or more material facts exists as to the cause of action or a defense thereto.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 437c, subd. (p)(1).) “There is a triable issue of material fact if, and only if, the evidence would allow a reasonable trier of fact to find the underlying fact in favor of the party opposing the motion in accordance with the applicable standard of proof.” (Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield, Co. (2001) 25 Cal.4th 826, 850.) The defendant “shall not rely upon the allegations or denials of its pleadings to show that a triable issue of material fact exists but, instead, shall set forth the specific facts showing that a triable issue of material fact exists as to the cause of action or a defense thereto.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 437c, subd. (p)(1).)
Plaintiff moves for summary judgment on the seven Defendants, subjecting them to civil penalties in the amount of $128,061,000. The penalties were calculated based on Business and Professions Code section 26038 subdivision (a) which states that a person engaged in unlicensed cannabis activity is “subject to civil penalties of up to three times the amount of the license fee for each violation.” Here, Plaintiff provides evidence showing (1) that the seven Defendants violated section 26038; (2) that they did so for 527 separate days of violation; and (3) that they were subject to total licensing fees of $81,000 for each day of commercial cannabis activity operation.
Defendants Vertical Bliss, Inc., Kushy Punch Inc., Conglomerate Marketing, LLC, and More Agency, Inc. (“Business Entity Defendants”) have each admitted to engaging in (1) unlicensed commercial manufacturing cannabis activity and (2) unlicensed commercial distributor cannabis activity. (SSUMF Nos. 10-11, 13-14, 18-19, 21-22, 26-27, 29-30, 34-35, and 37-38; RJN, Exhibits D, E, F, and G; Yun Decl., Exhibits 2, 4, 6, and 8 (RFA Nos. 4, 12, 19, and 27 in each Exhibit).) The three individual Defendants, Kachian, Barsamyan, and Toroyan (“Individual Defendants”) have each admitted to engaging in (1) unlicensed commercial manufacturing cannabis activity and (2) unlicensed commercial distributor cannabis activity in the City of Canoga Park in the State of California, by admitting that they are “OWNER[s]” of Vertical Bliss, Inc., Kushy Punch, Inc., Conglomerate Marketing, LLC, and More Agency, Inc. (SSUMF Nos. 4-7 and 40-48; RJN, Exhibits A, C, and H; Yun Dec, Exhibit 1 [as to Kachian] (RFA Nos. 8, 11, 14, and 17), Exhibit 10 [as to Barsamyan] (RFA Nos. 1, 5, 8, 11, and 14), and Exhibit 12 [as to Toroyan] (RFA Nos. 2, 5, 8, and 11).) In addition, the declaration of Eileen Del Rosario provides further uncontroverted evidence that the individual Defendants engaged in unlicensed commercial cannabis activity. Specifically, during CDPH’s investigation there were ongoing communications with Defendants Kachian and Toroyan in their capacity as active representatives of the Business Entity Defendants. (Del Rosario Decl., ¶ 4-8, 22, 25-29, and 33.) Thus, there are no triable issues to any material facts that Defendants violated section 26038, subdivision (a), and are subject to civil penalties of up to three times the amount of the license fee for each day of the violation(s).
The Business Entity Defendants have each admitted to (1) engaging in unlicensed commercial manufacturing cannabis activity in the State of California on 527 separate days and (2) engaging in unlicensed commercial distributor cannabis activity in the State of California on 527 separate days. (SSUMF Nos. 10-11, 13-14, 18-19, 21-22, 26-27, 29-30, 34-35, and 37-38.) Likewise, the Individual Defendants, as owners and persons with direct control over the Business Entity Defendants, are also deemed to have engaged in unlicensed commercial cannabis activity on 527 separate days in the State of California. (SSUMF Nos. 4-7, 10-11, 13-14, 18-19, 21-22, 26-27, 29-30, 34-35, 37-38, and 40-48.) Thus, there is no triable issue as to this fact when determining the civil penalty that should be assessed in this case.
The Business Entity Defendants have each admitted they received gross revenue exceeding $10,000,000 and $1,000,000, annually, from unlicensed commercial cannabis manufacturing and distributor activities, respectively, during the relevant period. (SSUMF Nos. 12, 15, 20, 23, 28, 31, 36, and 39.) As to the individual Defendants, they each engaged in illegal commercial cannabis activity by virtue of their admitted ownership of, ownership interest in, and/or control and managing power over, the Business Entity Defendants. Also, the Del Rosario Declaration gives facts which further confirm Defendants’ undisputed admissions as to the gross revenue generated by their illegal activities. (See Del Rosario Decl., ¶¶ 10, 11, 39, 44.) Thus, there are no triable issues as to the licensing fees to which the Defendants were subject and which form the basis of the civil penalty that should be assessed in this case.
Defendants have not filed an opposition.
The unopposed motion for summary judgment is granted in the amount of $128,061,000 as Plaintiff requests.
Plaintiff is to give notice.
Order to Show Cause Re: Sanctions against the Defendants for failure to appear on 10/12/2022 is held and the court rules as follows:
