Former BitMEX worker Greg Dwyer was slapped with a 12-month probation for failing to set up an AML program in collaboration with his bosses, making the firm a money laundering platform.
Greg Dwyer pleaded innocent at first and vowed to fight the charges, but having seen that the three BitMEX founders only got a slap on the wrist, he changed his plea.
Greg Dwyer has been charged alongside BitMEX founders Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed, who have already surrendered to U.S. authorities and stand to face up to five years behind bars.
Dwyer, the former head of operations at BitMEX, will join his colleagues including ex-CEO Arthur Hayes to face banking law breach charges in the United States.
