According to a report, on April 03, 2020, 11 lawsuits were filed against seven crypto-exchanges in a New York federal court and BitMEX is one of them. Roche Freedman, the law firm representing late David Kleiman in a case again Craig Wright, filed the lawsuits against the exchanges. In his petition, Freedman has claimed that without the broker-dealer licensing, the seven crypto exchanges sold the unlicensed securities and have been manipulating the market. He also has alleged that the issuers hide this information from the investors.
