DFS Fines Coinbase

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt and I take a look at the recent NY state Department of Financial Services sanction involving the crypto trading platform Coinbase, which just agreed to pay $50 million to the DFS and to spend another $50 million over the next two years to improve its compliance program. Some of the highlights include: ·      What was the fine and associated spending for?  ·      What did the Coinbase compliance program fail on? ·      How did Coinbase’s explosive growth fuel a culture of non-compliance.  ·      How did Coinbase fall further and further behind?  ·      Why and how did the Coinbase solution worsen the problem?  ·      Why does a company need to start with solid foundation of clearly defined procedures?  ·      What is the role of an effective and efficient technology? ·      What are the lessons learned?  Resources Matt Kelly in Radical Compliance Learn more about your ad choices.
