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)
