BitMEX Exchange legal problems
100x, BitMEX Exchange and other related platforms were indicted by New York attorneys general and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission for illegally offering derivatives trading to US clients. This resulted in the violation of the Banking Secrecy Law.
Due to these problems, BitMEX made some changes to its executive team. The platform removed founders like Ben Delo, Samuel Reed, and Hayes from their executive positions. Despite this movement, BitMEX has said that they will continue to carry out their activities as always done.
The arrival of Malcolm Wright is the last effort on the part of the platform due to the accusations. They want to avoid a similar situation in the future.
BitMEX Exchange is one of the most important platforms in the world. All its services are offered worldwide, differentiating it significantly from others. Bitmex allows its investors to earn even when cryptocurrencies are at their worst, which is why it is prevalent.
Before announcing Wright’s hiring, it was unclear whether the company had a chief compliance officer.
