Uff, jetzt scheint es BitMEX an den Kragen zu gehen.
Crypto Trading Platform BitMEX ‘Attempted to Evade’ US Regulations, CFTC ChargesThe U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and federal prosecutors alleged crypto trading platform BitMEX facilitated unregistered trading and other violations.
The CFTC announced Thursday it was charging BitMEX, CEO Arthur Hayes, company owners Ben Delo and Samual Reed, and corporate entities HDR Global Trading Limited, 100x Holding Limited, ABS Global Trading Limited, Shine Effort Inc Limited and HDR Global Services (Bermuda) Limited with offering U.S. customers illicit crypto derivative trading services.
Similarly, Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced that Hayes, Delo, Reed and Gregory Dwyer were being charged with violating the Bank Secrecy Act and conspiracy to violate the act.
