U.S. authorities charge BitMEX founders

Federal prosecutors charged BitMEX founders with Bank Secrecy Act violations while the CFTC filed a parallel civil action.

The criminal case alleged willful failure to establish and maintain an adequate anti-money-laundering program. The exchange remained operational and later changed leadership and compliance practices.
