BitMEX Co-Founders Arthur Hayes and Benjamin Delo Plead Guilty to Violating Bank Secrecy Laws

Babbitt, Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) — Crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX co-founders Arthur Hayes and Benjamin Delo have pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, according to an announcement Thursday by the U.S. Department of Justice. Under the terms of their respective plea agreements, Hayes and Delo agreed to pay criminal fines of $10 million each, representing the illegal proceeds they received from their crimes. The U.S. Department of Justice said that violations of the Bank Secrecy Act carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, with the maximum sentence to be set by Congress. The announcement concludes legal proceedings that began in the fall of 2020 when Hayes and Delo, along with co-founder Samuel Reed and BitMEX head of business development Greg Dwyer, were charged by the DOJ with “evading U.S. anti-money laundering requirements. U.S. Attorney DamianWilliams said, “Today’s guilty plea reflects the office’s continued commitment to investigating and prosecuting money laundering in the cryptocurrency space.”
