On March 17, according to a screenshot released by lawyer Pavel Pogodin, BitMEX co-founder and former CEO Arthur Hayes will surrender to the US authorities on April 6. In addition, Arthur Hayes and his mother also signed a $10 million bail agreement. Yesterday, public records from the New York court in the United States showed that BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo had paid a $20 million bail to the court and was released.

Earlier on March 4, Assistant Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jessica Greenwood said she had been in contact with former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes and co-founders Ben Delo and Gregory Dwyer to negotiate their surrender to U.S. law enforcement officials. She also said that Hayes might surrender to U.S. authorities on April 6. The three were charged by the U.S. Department of Justice in October 2020 with violating the Bank Secrecy Act and conspiring to violate the law.
