A former senior manager at crypto exchange Huobi has been accused of illicit trading, according to a report from the Financial Times.
The report stated that Huobi has filed a lawsuit against Chen Boliang for secretly making $5 million by trading against an account he controlled. Chen was a senior manager at the company looking after institutional clients in Hong Kong.
The accusation includes setting up a retail trading account in his father’s name.
