The chief legal officer of OKX, Mauricio Beugelmans, has departed from the cryptocurrency exchange approximately one month after the firm settled a $500 million case with the U.S. Department of Justice. The settlement was reached in late March 2025, marking a notable leadership change at the company. Following Beugelmans' exit, OKX has appointed Linda Lacewell as the new Chief Legal Officer.
