Trump’s Crypto Pardon: BitMEX Founders Get a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card!

by

Well, well, well, what do we have here? United States President Donald Trump, in a move as surprising as a vegan at a steakhouse, has granted BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes a full pardon. And, as if one wasn’t enough, Samuel Reed and Benjamin Delo—who, let’s face it, probably thought their luck had run out—also got a golden ticket. All three had previously pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), but who needs rules when you’ve got a Presidential pardon, right? 🎩✨

The BitMEX Pardon: A Plot Twist No One Saw Coming

This isn’t Trump’s first rodeo in the wild west of cryptocurrency pardons. Remember Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road marketplace? He got his own “get out of jail free” card earlier. Clearly, Trump has a soft spot for tech entrepreneurs who dabble in the legally dubious. 🕵️‍♂️💻

Arthur Hayes and his merry band of co-founders had already settled their money laundering cases with US regulators, so this pardon is just the cherry on top of their legal sundae. 🍒🍦

And let’s not forget, this pardon comes just three months after BitMEX settled its case with the US Department of Justice. Timing, as they say, is everything. ⏳
