On October 1, 2020, one day before the U.S. Department of Justice and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed charges against BitMEX  and its four key executives, Samuel Reed, co-founder and CTO of BitMEX，was taken into custody in Massachusetts and would be presented before a federal court in Massachusetts. On April 6, 2021, Arthur Hayes landed at an airport in Honolulu, where he surrendered to federal agents on the tarmac. In August 2021, BitMEX itself reached a civil settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, agreeing to pay $100 million in civil penalties. According to individuals familiar with the matter, all defendants initially pleaded not guilty in the criminal proceedings. However, between February and March 2022, BitMEX’s three co-founders each changed their pleas and agreed to plead guilty. Arthur Hayes pleaded guilty in February 2022 to violating the Bank Secrecy Act and related AML requirements, and agreed to pay a $10 million criminal fine.  In May 2022, he was sentenced by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York @SDNYnews to six months of home detention followed by two years of probation. The same court also ordered the other two BitMEX co-founders to each pay $10 million in penalties. Benjamin Delo was sentenced to 30 months of probation without home detention, while Samuel Reed received 18 months of probation. In late 2021, Gregory Dwyer agreed to be extradited from Bermuda to the United States. On August 9, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Gregory Dwyer, BitMEX’s Head of Business Development, had also pleaded guilty in the criminal case. He admitted to violating the Bank Secrecy Act by willfully failing to establish, implement, and maintain an AML program at BitMEX. Under the terms of his plea agreement, he agreed to pay a separate $150,000 criminal fine. Dwyer was subsequently sentenced to one year of probation. In total, BitMEX-related penalties amounted to approximately $130 million. Following the enforcement actions by U.S. authorities, both Arthur Hayes and BitMEX suffered significant reputational and operational setbacks. In the years that followed, Hayes increasingly repositioned himself as a high-profile commentator in the crypto space, frequently promoting speculative projects and leveraging his industry influence and social media presence to attract retail investors. @TheJusticeDept @CFTC  @USDOJ_Intl   @bitmex @CryptoHayes  @bendelo  @STRML_ @BitMEX_Ethan @Crypto_slutz @r_polansky @sudhu_aru @BitMEX_sandisam @business @markets @BloombergAsia @Reuters @watcherguru @zachxbt @insiderwire  @WhalePanda @Tintinx2021 @yq_acc @RichardPtardio @JamesWynnReal @muphasamc @huskyXBT @JSeyff @0xcryptosam @degeneratenews @crypto_condom

市场真的是惨淡到一定程度了... “你看你是写个反转还是帮我们公关一下？”😂 到了熊市，项目方的脸皮突然就厚起来了... 简单来说， @cysic_xyz 将许诺好的奖励在TGE后缩水成原来的16%，然后所有被白嫖的NFT持有者、Yapper以及生态质押者都不能骂... 因为如果你骂了，他会觉得委屈... “我不是说 奖励还是一样吗？” “只不过临时改成分期支付了呀！” “就不能等我出完货再把快归零的代币分期发你嘛？” “该你拿的一枚没少呀？” “你骂什么骂呢？” “你看你是自己写个反转推文帮我们公关一下好让韭菜接盘呢还是怎么处理？” 对对对~错的都是我们，您永远是对的... 人善被人欺，马善被人骑... 我要开始黑化了！ 手上还有至少3家项目方的黑料，都是大家耳熟能详的，之前我是真的想给你们留面子，现在看来不用了... KOL的责任是什么？ 就是群众的嘴替，大家夸得时候，你要站出来领头夸，大家骂的时候，你要第一个站出来带头骂！ 要不你对得起关注你的人吗？ 从今天开始接受关于所有项目方的揭露投稿，都熊市了，不能带大家赚钱，给大家提供点瓜充饥还是可以的！ 欢迎评论区贴出来！
