and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, alleging the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world lied to regulators and misused customer funds. The 13-count complaint claims Binance diverted customers’ money to a European company controlled by Zhao and subverted its own controls to let U.S. customers trade on the platform. It also claims that while the company presented Binance.US as a separate trading platform for U.S.
customers, Zhao and Binance “secretly controlled the Binance.US platform’s operations behind the scenes.” The allegations follow a similar complaint from the CFTC in March, as U.S. regulators increasingly crack down on crypto trading. Zhao responded to the news in a tweet, writing: “Our team is all standing by, ensuring systems are stable, including withdrawals, and deposits. We will issue a response once we see the complaint. Haven’t seen it yet. Media gets the info before we do.
