Federal Court Orders BitMEX’s Three Co-Founders to Pay a Total of $30

Million for Illegally Operating a Cryptocurrency Derivatives Trading Platform

and Anti-Money Laundering Violations

Co-Founders Ordered to Pay $10 Million Each（2022/5/5）

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced the U.S. District

Court for the Southern District of New York entered consent orders against the three

co-founders of the BitMEX cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform: Arthur

Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed. The three co-founders are required to pay a
total of $30 million civil monetary penalty for their actions. The orders require each to

pay a $10 million civil monetary penalty, and also enjoin Hayes, Delo, and Reed from

further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations, as

charged.

“As digital asset markets grow globally, the Commission continues to actively

use its existing enforcement authority in the digital asset commodity space to protect

customers and ensure these emerging markets are free from fraud and manipulation,”

said Chairman Rostin Behnam. “This is another example of the Commission taking

decisive action where appropriate to ensure that digital asset derivatives trading

platforms comply with the Commodity Exchange Act and Commission regulations.”

Acting Director of Enforcement Gretchen Lowe added, “Individuals who control

cryptocurrency derivatives trading platforms conducting business in the U.S. must

ensure that their platform complies with applicable federal commodities laws,
including CFTC registration and regulatory requirements such as

Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money Laundering regulations.”
