This is the best summary I could come up with:
Silvergate said it had an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program tailored specifically to crypto but actually didn’t adequately monitor “approximately $1 trillion” in transactions, the complaint says.
Days after the crypto exchange declared bankruptcy, the bank run that would ultimately kill Silvergate had begun.
Lane, aware of social media chatter about Silvergate, asked the bank to review its relationship with FTX.
He denies any wrongdoing and intends to challenge the SEC’s claims in court,” said Lurie, who was also directly quoted in a statement Katz said was his.
At the heart of the SEC’s allegations is the network Silvergate ran to allow crypto customers to transact at all hours, called SEN.
Though Silvergate said SEN was safe, the SEC says the network wasn’t being automatically monitored for suspicious transactions for “at least 15 months prior to November 2022.”
