BitMEX co-founder and Bitcoin billionaire Arthur Hayes has taken a board seat and major stake in a stem cell company following his March pardon from US President Donald Trump, which wiped clean his conviction for Bank Secrecy Act violations. Hayes, who built BitMEX into one of the largest derivatives platforms before it came under regulatory fire, has been a regular patient at the stem cell firm’s clinics in Mexico and Bangkok for over a year, he told Bloomberg. “I want to live as long as possible, as healthy as possible,” Hayes said, noting that more countries are relaxing rules around stem cell use. The company, which is currently rebranding, was not identified. In March, Trump pardoned four former BitMEX executives, including Hayes, Benjamin Delo, Gregory Dwyer and Samuel Reed, who had pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations tied to weak Anti-Money Laundering controls at the exchange.
