GS Partners, a company that offered a range of crypto investments, has agreed to fully refund investors as part of a settlement with five U.S. states.
The Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) announced on Monday that Texas, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, and Georgia have reached an agreement with the firm and its owner, Josip Heit.
