In a statement released on May 7, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida said Todd admitted to "intentionally causing" Digitex to violate the Bank Secrecy Act.
U.S. authorities indicted Adam Todd in February. According to the indictment, Todd operated an unregistered futures platform for U.S. customers between 2018 and 2022 and failed to implement and maintain an AML and KYC program. (Cointelegraph)
