What is this all about?

On November 15, 2022, Marcus Aurelius Research revealed that '[r]ecently subpoenaed Silvergate bank records reveal $425 million in transfers from $SI crypto bank accounts to South American money launderers.' On November 17, 2022, The Bear Cave newsletter released an article about several companies with potential exposure to recently collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, including Silvergate, highlighting the alleged connection between Silvergate and the money laundering operation referenced by Marcus Aurelius Research.

Shares of Silvergate Capital Corporation stock dropped 17% on November 15, 2022, and a further 10.7% on November 18, 2022, on unusually heavy trading volume.

A complaint for alleged securities law violations was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on December 7, 2022. The complaint alleges that Silvergate mislead investors about its compliance with applicable regulations, while concealing its exposure to regulatory risk relating to anti-money laundering rules.
