The Australian Securities and Investments Commission secured travel restraint orders against Liang Guo (also known as Allan Guo), the former director of defunct Blockchain Global Limited.

Australia’s federal court ordered , among other things, that Guo may not leave or attempt to leave the country until Aug. 20, 2024, according to an announcement from ASIC yesterday.

The orders followed a hearing on Feb. 20, 2024, and come amid concerns from ASIC that Guo may leave the country. Guo did not attend the hearing.

Guo is currently under investigation by ASIC — as are former Blockchain Global directors Samuel Xue Lee and Zijang (Ryan) Xu — following the collapse of a Blockchain Global-operated crypto exchange called ACX Exchange.

Blockchain Global operated ACX Exchange from roughly January 2016 until December 2019. Liquidators, after being assigned to Blockchain Global on Feb. 11, 2022, filed a detailed report outlining potential breaches of Australia’s Corporations Act 2001 on Nov. 1, 2023.

The next court date is currently slated for March 12, 2024.
