NEW YORK (Reuters) -Paxos Trust reached a $48.5 million settlement to resolve New York charges it failed to conduct sufficient due diligence of its former partner Binance, and had systemic failures in its anti-money laundering program, the state’s financial services regulator said on Thursday.
The settlement calls for Paxos to pay a $26.5 million fine and spend $22 million to improve its compliance program and address deficiencies, New York financial services superintendent Adrienne Harris said.
