SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 13 – Four executives of
the Bitcoin Mercantile
Exchange or BitMEX are
criminal defendants for
violations of the Bank Secrecy
Act.
On October 13 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltlt held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
complaint says the defendants
"deliberately failed to
implement BSA-Compliant AML
and KYC programs at BitMEX."
They have
demanded a bill of
particulars, and the
government has opposed
it. Judge Koeltl on
October 13 gave the defendants
until October 22 to reply to
DOJ's opposition.
The case is
US v. Hayes, et al., 20-cr-500
(Koeltl)
