Throwback Thursday: Seizing accounts linked to Mt. Gox On May 15, 2013, U.S. authorities seized accounts associated with the now-defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox after it was discovered that the platform had failed to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a money transmitter. According to a report at the time, the Department of Homeland Security issued a seizure warrant to Dwolla, a payment processing company, for money that was in its Mt. Gox account. Mark Karpelès, the former CEO and president of Mt. Gox, pleaded not guilty to charges of allegedly embezzling around $3 million from Mt. Gox in 2018. Latest updates report that Karpelès is accusing a plaintiff in a Mt. Gox lawsuit of trying to "thwart" the court. | |
