CoinEX pays loads of cash to resolve lawsuit
A crypto company based in Hong Kong has agreed to pay over $1.7 million in refunds and penalties to investors following a settlement with New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
The AG had filed a lawsuit against CoinEx trading platform in February, alleging that the company had falsely portrayed itself as a crypto exchange and failed to register as a securities and commodities broker-dealer.
This week, it was announced in a press release by the attorney general that CoinEx has agreed to pay over $1.1 million in refunds to 4,691 New York investors and more than $600,000 in penalties to the state. This settlement will put an end to the lawsuit. CoinEx has also been banned from operating in New York.
However, the platform had already announced that it would stop its US operations in response to the lawsuit a few months ago. The agreement with the attorney general requires CoinEx to use geoblocking to prevent New York IP addresses from accessing its platform.
