A CEX operator wins a lawsuit against South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit, and the three-month suspension order is overturned

Gate News message, April 9, a Korean court issued a ruling in an administrative lawsuit filed by a certain CEX operator against the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), ruling to overturn the prior decision to impose a partial three-month business suspension. The court said that, in the absence of clear implementation guidance from the regulator, the operator had taken measures including customer commitment letters and internal monitoring, thereby fulfilling its reasonable obligations. Although there is still debate over whether the relevant measures are sufficient to fully block transactions with unreported counterparties, they do not support the earlier penalty decision.
