Bitmex collapse. CFTC and FBI open criminal case for money laundering

As soon as I was distracted, I missed the moment when the FBI and CFTC screwed up the trash crypto exchange BITMEX and a series of themjurikov-technician, having opened a criminal case forillegal financial transactions (trading in “derivatives”) and money laundering. The legendary CryptoMedication hints that these are links in the same chain with the case of the ever-memorable Bitfinex crypto exchange and running a heap of super-dirty money through it and its no less legendary techs, especially through Crypto Capital. And that Bitfinex (it's high time) and Binance will be next to be shot.
