Binance afirma que Reuters se perdió los 'hechos críticos' en un informe reciente
- Reuters afirma que Israel ha incautado 190 cuentas de Binance desde 2021 debido a sus vínculos con los grupos terroristas Hamas y el Estado Islámico.
- Israel’s NBCTF said that it confiscated the accounts on Binance to “thwart the activity” of Islamic State and “impair its ability to further its goals.”
- The exchange claims that the authors of the Reuters report are “deliberately leaving out critical facts” related to the matter.
- “It’s important to clarify that bad actors don’t register accounts under the names of their criminal enterprises,” Binance said.
The struggle between the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, and renowned media outlet Reuters is well known to the crypto community, and it is also a fact that many believe that the crypto exchange is being wrongfully accused by the media outlet in its reports. On the other hand, multiple reports from Reuters claim that the leading crypto firm does not comply with laws and is negligent when it comes to KYC rules and regulations.
En una reciente reporte, Reuters claimed that around 190 accounts on Binance have been seized by Israeli authorities since 2021 due to some of them being linked to the terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic State. Citing the documents released by the country’s counter-terror authorities, the Reuters report claims that two accounts and their contents were confiscated on January 12.
Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) stated on its website that it confiscated the accounts on Binance to “thwart the activity” of Islamic State and “impair its ability to further its goals.” It is important to mention here that the document did not mention the amount of crypto that was seized nor how the accounts were connected to Islamic State.
El medio de comunicación afirma que Binance no respondió a sus llamadas y correos electrónicos el jueves antes de publicar el artículo. Sin embargo, después de que el artículo se publicó, el intercambio fijado that Reuters was “deliberately leaving out critical facts.” The crypto trading platform claims that it has been “working closely with international counter-terrorism authorities” on the seizures.
“With regard to the specific organizations mentioned in the article, it’s important to clarify that bad actors don’t register accounts under the names of their criminal enterprises,” Binance said, while adding:
“Our policies and processes comply with AMLD5/6 anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements, and we have a robust compliance program that incorporates sophisticated anti-money laundering and global sanctions principles and tools to detect and address suspicious activity. We even have specialists on our team who have focused their entire careers on counter-terrorism.”
Binance agregó además que los autores del artículo de Reuters, Tom Wilson y Angus Berwick, han tomado varias medidas en el intercambio, pero omitieron hechos críticos en cada uno de sus informes.
En octubre de 2022, Wilson y Berwick publicaron un reporte after gathering secret information from “30 former employees, advisers, and business partners and a review of thousands of company messages, emails, and documents dated between 2017 and early 2022.” The report stated that Binance executives, along with its co-founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao, devised methods to “insulate” themselves from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
El intercambio también se ha enfrentado a múltiples acusaciones de varias entidades. Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, Binance, Changpeng Zhao y tres personas influyentes han sido nombrado en una demanda de $1 mil millones alegando que se dedicaron a la promoción de valores no registrados. Además, los informes afirman que el intercambio ha ocultado sus vínculos con China y agrega que los ejecutivos dieron órdenes repetidamente a los miembros del personal para cover up the firm’s Chinese presence.
Por otro lado, el brazo estadounidense del intercambio de cifrado, Binance US, no ha podido asegurar asociaciones bancarias para apoyar a sus clientes en la región. Las recientes quiebras del Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) y del Signature Bank han dejado sin socio a la principal bolsa de EE. UU.
