One of the creators of a cryptocurrency exchange, by the name of Hugo Mejia, has been found guilty of laundering money through an illegal and unlicensed cryptocurrency exchange. As a penalty for his actions, he is facing 25 years in prison. According to the reports that have been released the exchange was used to launder over $13 million. The course of this operation was over two years. This certainly draws our attention to the type of exchanges that we may use in the cryptocurrency world and we must do the research to ensure that the site that we use is licensed and legitimate to avoid closures like this.
