HyperVerse

HyperVerse is a defunct cryptocurrency hedge fund (formerly HyperNation, then Hyperfund, then Hyperverse in 2021). The collapse of the company resulted in approximately $1.3 billion in customer losses.

In January 2024, it was found that the man named as executive director of HyperVerse, Steven Reece Lewis, never existed. The company created content for investors stating that Reece Lewis graduated from the University of Leeds and the University of Cambridge, that he worked at Goldman Sachs, along with other notable experiences.

At the end of January 2024, the District Court of Maryland in the U.S. charged the Australian entrepreneur Sam Lee, chairman of HyperTech, the company that operated HyperVerse, with conspiracy to commit fraud.
