Denver — June 18, 2025 — The Denver District Court entered a permanent injunction against BioGreen Technologies, Inc. and its CEO Jorge Oteo on June 6, 2025. The court’s order permanently restrains and enjoins the defendants from the sale and solicitation of securities in violation of the licensing requirements of the Colorado Securities Act.
BioGreen Technologies, a Longmont-based mining company, and Oteo sought to develop a zeolite mine in Mexico. They allegedly offered and sold shares of stock and promissory notes to more than 30 investors. Neither BioGreen Technologies nor Oteo had a broker dealer or sales representative license. They also allegedly led investors to believe the company owned the mining concessions when Oteo personally held them.
In 2023 and 2024, the defendants agreed to consent orders issued by Colorado Securities Commissioner Tung Chan. The orders required the defendants to repay all investors by May 27, 2025. The defendants also agreed to the entry of a permanent order of injunction against them to be filed in court if they failed to make repayment.
