Binance Accused For Using User Funds; Is It True Or FUD?

What’s the Matter?

On June 29, the exchange announced BCH/TUSD and CFX/TUSD trading pairs with no costs, according to a screenshot Cochran posted. He believes Binance’s motivation for the update is to allow users to continue publishing BCH while giving the impression that they are backing that volume with Sun’s unbacked shell company coin.

Cochran allegedly claimed that the platform makes decisions on how to use users’ Binance assets without their consent. 

Binance is also facing a lawsuit from the CTFC. One of the key arguments in the Binance case is that the company consciously tried to circumvent US laws by enabling American customers to conduct illegal transactions through VPN and other techniques that concealed their locations. The platform hasn’t taken sufficient steps to address potential money laundering and other crimes, according to the CFTC lawsuit.

Executives Leaving Binance

Law enforcement organizations, particularly the SEC and the United States Department of Justice, are paying closer attention to Binance. Investigations are being conducted into the business and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, for allegedly not putting safeguards in place to stop money laundering.

Furthermore, the departure of numerous important executives has made Binance’s problems worse. These include a senior vice president for compliance, the general counsel, the head of investigations, the chief strategy officer, and others.

U.S. politician takes suspicious crypto trading to the next level

Image
Though Congressional stock trading has been pervasive for decades to the point that the STOCKS Act was implemented to prevent politicians from investing based on information they receive thanks to their official roles, 2024 brought a new development to the trend: cryptocurrency trading. By press time on January 3, 2025, the most interesting and suspicious example came in the form of a series of meme coin purchases executed by Representative Mike Collins, Georgia’s 10th congressional district.

Ethereum censorship concerns raised amid rising OFAC compliance

Image
More and more Ethereum blockchain operators have complied with sanctions from the OFAC, raising censorship concerns among decentralization proponents and network participants. Toni Wahrstätter, an Ethereum researcher, noted that five of the six largest block builders on Ethereum’s blockchain actively censor certain transactions in line with the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) directives.  Most of these censor ed transactions originate from decentralized mixer Tornado Cash, according to Wahrstätter, a protocol blacklisted by the Treasury Department due to its use by bad actors, including the North Korean hacker organization Lazarus.
