Claiming 324.8 BTC, worth approximately $27.2 million, Lewis Barber has sued BitMEX operator HDR Global Trading

Odaily reports that Bitcoin News posted on X that Lewis Barber has filed a lawsuit in the London Commercial Court against BitMEX operator HDR Global Trading, claiming 324.8 BTC, worth approximately $27.2 million. The lawsuit concerns 1,053 losing perpetual contract trades between 2018 and 2022, arguing that HDR Global Trading was not authorized by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide UK derivatives services, and therefore the related trades should not be enforceable. BitMEX said the lawsuit has been filed but has not yet been served; the exchange closed in September.
