The indictment was signed Feb. 24 in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.
Those named as defendants are Christopher Allan Boden, the company president; Leesa Beth Vogt, a company board member; and Daniel Reynod DeJager, a company consultant. The Geek Group, also known as the National Science Institute, was a registered non-profit organization.
Federal prosecutors allege Boden sold Bitcoin to numerous customers in exchange for U.S. currency. They allege that more than $700,000 was sold.
