Envion AG was a company founded in 2017 and headquartered in the Swiss canton of Zug, which wanted to mine Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether with self-built, mobile mining rigs. In several funding rounds around USD 100m was collected for this project.
Due to opposing positions taken within management, the company never went operational. After months of uncertainty the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) stepped in and put Envion under investigation. Subsequent to that, the bankruptcy office in Zug ordered the complete liquidation of Envion AG and will dissolve the company in the near future.
This fiasco has left 37,000 disenchanted investors from around the world behind. They hope for refunds of their investments, the bulk of which have not completely disappeared. It is anticipated that, as a result of the upcoming liquidation, the remining money, around USD 40-50m sitting in banks in Switzerland, will be refunded.
