Breaking: BitMEX Fined $100 Million For Money Laundering Violations

United States District Judge John G. Koeltl has ordered BitMEX Derivatives Exchange to pay the sum of $100 million for its violation of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) in the country. The Judge considered this penalty as a sufficient penance for a 5-year period it consistently violated anti-money laundering statutes. BitMEX Breaks Silence on the Penalty Commenting on the order from Judge Koeltl, the trading platform said this penalty is for an offense that its founders were fined for in 2022. The court argued that the trading platform evaded U.S provisions regarding money laundering for which it recorded a $1.3 billion for the 5 year period. In a statement on Wednesday, the exchange said this $100 million fine comes as a smaller penalty compared to the initial $200 million demanded by the Department of Justice (DoJ).
