Lewis Barber, a UK software engineer, is suing BitMEX's operator in London for the return of 324.8 BTC, worth about £20.4 million, alleging the exchange traded with him without UK regulatory approval. Barber claims BitMEX conducted unauthorized regulated activities in the UK and misled users by allowing UK access and running promotions despite FCA warnings. This case could represent hundreds of millions of pounds in similar claims from other UK traders. BitMEX shut down in September 2025 amid legal troubles, including previous fines and co-founder guilty pleas for regulatory violations.
