Anti-money-laundering and transaction-monitoring enforcement
The Federal Reserve Board and California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation cited deficiencies in Silvergate's internal transaction-monitoring and compliance systems. The SEC separately alleged that Silvergate Capital misled investors about the effectiveness of its anti-money-laundering program and its handling of suspicious transfers involving FTX and related entities. Silvergate settled the SEC case without admitting or denying the allegations.
