It's not exactly world policing. They are enforcing alleged violations of their own securities laws.


Their securities laws only apply to those under US jurisdiction. BitMEX does not accept US customers.

BitMEX immediately closes the accounts of anyone who ever signs in with a US IP, no matter what. I've been there: my bitmex account is permanently closed because I signed into it while I was holidaying to the USA.

They _are_ world policing.


Bitmex does accept US customers when they use a VPN.
