Hayes and co-founder Benjamin Delo, as well as former Chief Technology Officer Samuel Reed, all acknowledged they had operated BitMEX, a crypto spot and derivatives trading platform, with poor anti-money laundering protocols and agreed to pay a fine of $10 million each.
Hayes’ lawyers filed a request for probation after agreeing to a plea deal that would result in a prison sentence of six to 12 months under federal guidelines, according to Bloomberg. The lawyers argued that Hayes is unlikely to be a repeat offender, and included a letter from his mother and other supporters, Bloomberg wrote.Hayes will be sentenced by a federal judge later this month.
