 As a result, BitMEX has opened itself up as a vehicle for large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion schemes, posing a serious threat to the integrity of the financial system. 
 “Today's guilty plea shows once again that cryptocurrency companies must comply with US laws if they benefit from the US market.”
