The case of the former Bitmex top manager will be considered in October 2022

The team of lawyers of the ex-director of the development of Bitmex Greg Dwayer convinced the American judge to postpone his case until October 2022, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.

Lawyers argued the need for a deferral of time to prepare for the proceedings.

District Judge John Cottles also agreed to separate the Duyer case from the other three accused.

In October 2020, the US Department of Justice charged with violation of the law on banking secrets to the co -founders of the Exchange Arthur Hayes, Ben Delu, Samuel Reed, https://gagarin.news/ua/news/uni-credit-ordered-to-pay-a-144-m-fine/ as well as Duyer. Everyone faces up to five years in prison.

Rida was arrested in the United States, he came bail up $ 5 million.

The case in the UK surrendered to the American authorities in March 2021. Hayes flew from Singapore to Hawaii in April, having previously agreed on the terms of voluntary surrender. The court also released both on bail. For Heyes, the amount amounted to $ 10 million, and for business – $ 20 million.

Duyer, who lived on Bermuda Islands, agreed to extradition in September.

The prosecutor of the Southern District of New York Damian Williams asked for a joint trial for all four accused. He recalled that Dwyer was aware of the case since the prosecution.

However, Judge Cottles pointed out that the lawyers of the former BitMex Development Director until recently did not participate in the proceedings.

“He will have much less time to prepare for trial than other accused. The lack of time will interfere in preparation for this difficult case, ”the judge decided.

Recall that the civil lawsuit by CFTC settled the exchange, agreeing to a fine of $ 100 million and an independent audit.
