Right, for those that didn't read closely the only thing this appears to have to do with Bitcoin is that the scammer used the word "Bitcoin" in the names of one of the fraudulent investments he was pitching to people. He wasn't actually using Bitcoin or any other crypto currency in his scheme. He was using traditional banks.

I'd change the title to 'SEC Files Fraud Charges Against Renwick Haddow'.

Yes, it appears the bulk of the fraud was in the shared work space scheme.

Criminal charges [1] also mention another company that was used to solicit investment: InCrowd Equity Inc.

The SEC themselves chose the subtitle of "SEC Files Fraud Charges in Bitcoin and Office Space Investment Schemes". Prosecution can be a very political process as prosecutors often have political ambitions and want to be seen in the press. My takeaway from this press release is that at least one prosecution desk within the SEC has refocused on crypto as a means to do that.
