The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is excited to announce its support of the upcoming “Savvy Women and Money Conference” on Friday, February 16th, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Boise Centre.

The Idaho Department of Finance (the “Department”) joined twenty-four other state financial regulatory agencies in taking collective action against Plutus Financial, Inc., Abra Trading, LLC, Plutus Financial Holdings, Inc., Plutus Lending, LLC (collectively known as “Abra”), and CEO and largest equity owner William “Bill” Barhydt for operating a cryptocurrency company without receiving the required state licensing.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Patricia “Patti” Perkins for her many years of dedicated service to the Idaho Department of Finance. Appointed by Governor Brad Little as Director in January 2020, Patti brought exceptional leadership and vision to the Department.

Imposter scams are a growing threat to consumers nationwide, and Idahoans are being targeted at an alarming rate, along with consumers throughout the country.
