Coinmint2026-09-09 16:39:40Amended lawsuit accuses Coinmint executive of diverting 448.7193 BTC from mining operationsMintvest Capital has filed an amended complaint against Energy & Compute, LLC, formerly known as Coinmint, accusing chief executive Ashton Soniat of diverting bitcoin generated by the company’s mining business. The filing says Soniat told investors that newly added mining machines began producing later than they actually did, then sent all BTC mined during the undisclosed gap periods to his personal wallet. Mintvest alleges that a total of 448.7193 BTC was taken this way and says the testing periods were stretched for weeks or months to capture proceeds that should have gone to investors. The complaint also raises broader securities fraud and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, claims. Mintvest, which says it holds an 18.2% equity stake in Coinmint, argues that the company has generated more than $570 million in profits and that it is entitled to about $104 million. It also claims Coinmint failed to provide financial reporting and deliberately did not maintain proper financial records, which it says obscured self-dealing transactions and blocked outside oversight. The suit also names New York Digital Investment Group, or NYDIG, alleging that when NYDIG acquired Coinmint it failed to compensate Mintvest as required by the merger agreement and plan of merger. In its request for relief, Mintvest seeks at least $104 million in compensatory damages for withheld profits, at least $47.1 million tied to the allegedly stolen BTC, plus punitive and statutory damages. Protos said it had contacted NYDIG for comment.1030
