OKX Appoints Linda Lacewell as Chief Legal Officer After Beugelmans’ Departure
OKX appointed Linda Lacewell as chief legal officer following the departure of Mauricio Beugelmans. Lacewell, a board member since last year, previously led the New York Department of Financial Services.
Key points:
- Lacewell's appointment coincides with OKX's expansion into Europe and U.A.E.
- Beugelmans left amid penalties exceeding $500 million paid to the U.S. Department of Justice.
- The DOJ reported that OKX facilitated over $5 billion in suspicious transactions.
