Pardoned BitMEX Cofounder Pledges £20 Million to London Maths Institute

Ben Delo, co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, has pledged £20 million to the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences (LIMS) to support curiosity-driven research in theoretical mathematics and physics. This follows a previous £10 million donation. The funds are intended to help LIMS reach a £60 million endowment target and will support research free from traditional academic constraints. Delo, a British billionaire previously convicted and later pardoned for Bank Secrecy Act violations, has a history of donating to scientific and free speech causes. The institute aims to use the funding to attract top researchers and expand its work in basic science, with the director noting growing interest from the tech sector in supporting fundamental research.
