The 2012 order

Washington State entered a securities order against Tyler Gonty in 2012. It is a public record. This page sets out what it says.

The documents

There are two. Both come from the Securities Division of the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions. Both are on the state's website.

The first is a Statement of Charges dated November 30, 2011. The second is a Final Order dated January 6, 2012. The order number is S-09-134-12-FO01.

The respondents are "Tyler Gonty" and "T&H Northwest, LLC." The order describes Gonty as "a Washington resident" and the company's "Manager and Chief Executive Officer." The company did business as HellHouse Media.

What the state found

These are the order's findings of fact. The quotes are from the order.

• From September 2006 to at least June 2009, Gonty "raised in excess of $700,000 from over 80 investors."
• He offered stock, promissory notes, and shares in the income of specific films and websites.
• Investors found the offer through ads he placed on Craigslist and Backpage.
• He told one investor a film investment "could return 120% a year."
• He gave that investor income projections. They showed a loss of $197,826 for 2008. They projected nearly $1 million for 2009 and over $4 million for 2012.
• Another investor put in $90,000 "after being promised a return of 10% per week."
• He signed four agreements stating that "he personally guaranteed the return of the investor's investment."
• "On multiple occasions, the movies described in the offerings were not actually produced." Investors' interests were moved to another film.
• "Several T&H investors have received little or no return on their investment."
• He told at least one investor that if sued for non-payment "he would file for bankruptcy."

What one investor wrote in 2009

In October 2009 an investor in the earlier company posted a public complaint. The investor wrote that $4,000 went in and about $164 came back. The complaint lists the reasons given for the missing payments.

This is one investor's account. It is not a finding by the state. It sits here because of what the TokenOS account has said since August 2026. It has blamed a bank closing its account, delayed wires, and a check in the mail. Three of those posts follow. More are on What the operator said.

What the state concluded

The order concludes that the stock, notes and income shares were securities. It concludes they were sold in violation of the state's anti-fraud statute. The stated reason is that the respondents "made untrue statements of material fact" and left out facts investors needed.

It also concludes that Gonty sold securities without being registered to do so. The offering itself was not registered.

What the state ordered

Gonty and the company were ordered to "cease and desist from violating RCW 21.20.010, the anti-fraud section of the Securities Act of Washington." The same applied to the registration sections.

They were fined $20,000. They were charged $2,500 in costs.

How the order was entered

The charges were served on December 4, 2011. The respondents had twenty days to ask for a hearing. The order records that each "failed to request an administrative hearing." The findings were then adopted as final.

Then and now

The order does not mention TokenOS. It predates it by thirteen years. The two records can be read side by side.
