The owner of defunct Silvergate Bank, a crypto lender, has agreed to pay $63 million to settle probes over compliance failures. This settlement marks the first federal enforcement action taken against entities and individuals following bank failures in 2023. The Federal Reserve and California regulator found deficiencies in Silvergate's anti-money laundering transaction monitoring, while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged the bank's executives with misleading statements. The bank's former CEO and Chief Risk Officer agreed to settlements, with one executive contesting the charges.
