The US Department of Justice accused the founders that our customers violated the bank’s secret law by allowing our customers to trade on the platform on the platform without control of Monde-Monde-Money Saundering (AML).
Despite the withdrawal of Bitmex in the US market, the authorities called this movement “fake” and the platform insisted that it continued to serve US users.
Samuel Reed was guilty in 2022 and paid a fine of $ 10 million, and the exchange itself was convicted of the Bank Secret Law in 2025 and agreed to a $ 100 million fine.
Hayes and DELO also insisted that the prosecution made illegal financial activities in the face of allegations related to LAX supervision of the platform. Dello surrendered to US authorities in 2021.
