London-based Blockchain.com is facing prosecution after two senior executives failed to submit company records on time.

The Telegraph reported that Nicolas Cary, Blockchain.com’s co-founder and president, and operations executive Al Turnball received a summons by Companies House in May.

According to the report, Blockchain.com only filed its business accounts in October for the year ending 2020. However, the legal claims focus is on the company’s delayed filing of accounts for the year ending December 2022.

Blockchain.com blamed the late filing on a restructuring of the company and a “significant reduction in the wider group’s workforce,” which the company said has taken time to stablize.

In its 2020 accounts, Blockchain.com said it had hired legal advisors and was preparing to defend the charges against it.

The case was heard at Cardiff Magistrates Court on September 25 and another hearing is expected on November 26.

A spokesperson for Blockchain.com said:

“Blockchain.com takes seriously our compliance with license and regulatory requirements around the world. We have sorted all necessary documents related to this entirely administrative matter, and are confident it will be closed quickly.”

Established in 2011 by co-founder Peter Smith and Nicolas Cary, Blockchain.com has 37 million verified users, serves more than 200 countries, has over 89 million wallets, and has processed more than $1 trillion worth of transactions. Some of its investors include Baille Gifford, DST Global, and Google Ventures.
