    Arthur Hayes out at BitMEX

    With its three co-founders under indictment for money laundering in the U.S., the Seychelles-based cryptocurrency derivatives exchange has dumped its leadership

    CEO Arthur Hayes and co-founders Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed, as well as head of business development Gregory Dwyer, have stepped down after the U.S. Department of Justice indicted them for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and conspiring to violate the Bank Secrecy Act. The charges are based on what prosecutors say are deliberately weak and inefficient customer identification procedures.
