TL;DR: “We can confirm that Angelina Kwan is leaving the company and is on gardening leave now. That’s all we can say on the matter at the moment, but we wish Angelina all the best,” a BitMEX spokesperson told CoinSpice. The now-former BitMEX Chief Operating Officer (COO), Angelina Kwan, resigned as of 9 September 2019. The company has come under fire in recent months from regulators, and it’s unclear if Kwan’s supposed departure is in any way related.
