A British software engineer has filed a £20 million claim against BitMEX operator HDR Global Trading Limited, alleging he lost large amounts of Bitcoin (BTC) from 2018 to 2022 and seeking its return or compensation of about $26.5 million. Lewis Barber alleges BitMEX offered crypto derivatives to UK investors without authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the country’s financial regulator. He argues the contracts were invalid and is seeking the return of his Bitcoin or equivalent compensation.
