President Trump Pardons BitMEX Co-Founders
President Donald Trump has pardoned the three co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX—Benjamin Delo, Arthur Hayes, and Samuel Reed—along with former employee Gregory Dwyer. They had pleaded guilty in 2022 to violating the Bank Secrecy Act by neglecting anti-money laundering and know-your-customer obligations from 2015 to 2020. This move has been welcomed by the crypto industry, which anticipates more relaxed regulations under Trump's administration.
