"I left OKX to pursue another opportunity within the crypto industry, which I will share publicly at the appropriate time. It was a privilege to scale and lead such a talented team of legal and compliance professionals for the past 3 1/2 years at OKX," Beugelmans said via email.
Just last month, OKX paid over $500 million in penalties and forfeited fees in a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice which stated that the company had facilitated more than $5 billion in “suspicious transactions and criminal proceeds.”
A source familiar with the matter said Beugelmans’ exit was related to the recent DOJ settlement.
OKcoin, the American division of OKX, also received a subpoena issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Feb. 24 last year. The subpoena referred to “certain persons engaged in fraud and other unlawful conduct with respect to digital asset transactions.”
OKX did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
UPDATE (April, 1st, 14:40 UTC): Adds comment from Mauricio Beugelmans.
