Geosyn Mining, LLC was a Fort Worth, Texas-based cryptocurrency mining and hosting company whose CEO Caleb Joseph Ward and co-founder Jeremy George McNutt were charged by the SEC in April 2024 with running a fraudulent, unregistered securities offering that raised roughly $5.6 million from more than 60 investors. Federal prosecutors later filed parallel criminal fraud charges against Ward, Jeremy McNutt, and a third executive, Jared McNutt, alleging the trio sold mining-rig hosting agreements while never purchasing or operating much of the promised equipment and using new investor money to pay earlier investors in a manner prosecutors likened to a Ponzi scheme. In November 2025, a Fort Worth federal jury convicted Ward on all counts, while the SEC's parallel civil case remains stayed pending the criminal proceedings.
