Virtual currency brokerage firm Genesis Global Trading agreed to pay an $8 million penalty levied by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) for alleged compliance failures that left it vulnerable to illicit activity and cybersecurity threats.
Genesis Global Trading is in the process of winding down operations, said the NYDFS in its press release Friday, a year after other Genesis businesses filed for bankruptcy as part of a restructuring plan.
The settlement requires Genesis Global Trading to surrender its BitLicense allowing it to conduct virtual currency business activity in New York.
