BitMEX founders hit with another RICO suit; criminal trial set for March 2022
Crypto exchange BitMex is facing another RICO lawsuit in California. The founders are accused of intentionally designing BitMEX "from the ground up with the purpose to engage in, facilitate, aid, abet, counsel, induce and/or procure numerous of illegal activities".
Accused of market manipulation
The lawsuit is filed by Anatoly Sorokin, who is represented by Pavel Pogodin, the same attorney who filed the last civil RICO lawsuits against BitMEX and its staff. The illegal activities they are accused of include the intentional evasion of mandatory financial controls, including failing to implement any KYC or AML checks, and often willful allowing market manipulators and money launderers on the exchange.This implies that BitMEX would "intentionally" take the BitMEX platform offline during market manipulation to generate losses for retail traders active on the platform.
New information puts the lawsuit in a different light
Information gathered in the previous lawsuit is also being used against BitMEX in this lawsuit. Attempts to close the case based on the fact that U.S. customers were prohibited from using the platform are being thrown off the table after Pogodin discovered that BitMEX's top three leaderboard traders were all U.S. citizens who generated over $100,000,000 in trading profits for BitMEX alone.The lawsuit is just the latest filed by former BitMEX users, and it won't be the last. In addition to the pending civil lawsuits, the defendant founders- Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo and Samuel Reed -are now set to go to trial in March 2022 in the federal criminal case against them, according to a court filing on Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
