Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) warning to the public about an unregulated crypto exchange called Kucoin. Kucoin has been accused of operating as an illicit money laundering vehicle, processing over $5 billion in suspicious transactions since 2017. Prosecutors allege that Kucoin failed to implement identity verification processes for its users and actively courted illicit business. The exchange has been charged with violating US anti-money laundering laws, allowing billions of dollars in illicit funds to be transferred. The HKMA's warning aims to protect investors from deceptive crypto schemes.
