Statement by Commissioner Johnson Regarding Consent Order Imposing $10
million Penalty Against Each Individual Co-founder and Co-owner of BitMEX

（2022/5/5）

Today, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York

(SDNY) entered a Consent Order imposing a $10 million civil monetary penalty in

connection with charges against Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Peter Delo, and Samuel

Reed, the three individual co-founders and co-owners of BitMEX, totaling $30

million. On August 10, 2021, SDNY ordered BitMEX corporate entities to pay $100

million for illegally operating a cryptocurrency trading platform and anti-money

laundering (AML) violations.

The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is to promote the

integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the U.S. derivatives markets through sound

regulation. In carrying out this mission, Congress authorizes the CFTC to promote
responsible innovation and fair competition in our markets. This case highlights the

significance of cryptocurrency derivatives platforms operating in the United States,

particularly those permitting U.S. customer participation; such platforms must comply

with the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commission’s regulations. To remain

competitive in global financial markets, our derivatives markets must continue to

innovate, particularly in emerging digital asset markets. It is imperative, however, to

balance responsible innovation with core principles, including consumer protection,

transparency, and fairness.

We applaud the collaborative efforts of the CFTC’s Division of Enforcement and

its laudable cooperation with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the SDNY and the

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
