This number includes a $2.4 million “second anniversary bonus,” salaries, housing and education allowances, and other benefits.Hoptner’s legal team filed the claim in the General Division of the High Court of the Republic of Singapore against Three Fins Pte Ltd., a Singaporean subsidiary of HDR Global Ltd., the Seychelles-registered business behind Bitmex.”During my tenure, I always behaved in the best interests of the company, I put my personal and family lives on hold to be in Singapore and Hong Kong. Hoptner stated that while I am unhappy that legal action has been taken, “we are unable to comment at this stage.” Bitmex spokeswoman said. We will respond to Alexander Hoptners claims in Court (which is the proper forum). Needless to say, we will strongly oppose the accusation.”DISCLAIMER: The Information on this website is provided as general market commentary and does not constitute investment advice.
