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. 

In un recente rapporto, 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.

Il media afferma che Binance non ha risposto alle sue chiamate ed e-mail giovedì prima di pubblicare l'articolo. Tuttavia, dopo che l'articolo è stato pubblicato, lo scambio ha dichiarato 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 ha inoltre aggiunto che gli autori dell'articolo di Reuters, Tom Wilson e Angus Berwick, hanno fatto diversi scatti allo scambio ma hanno omesso fatti critici in ciascuno dei loro rapporti. 

Nell'ottobre 2022, Wilson e Berwick hanno pubblicato a rapporto 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. 

Lo scambio ha dovuto affrontare anche molteplici accuse da parte di varie entità. Come riportato in precedenza da Bitnation, Binance, Changpeng Zhao e tre influencer lo sono stati nominato in una causa da $1 miliardo sostenendo di essersi impegnati nella promozione di titoli non registrati. Inoltre, i rapporti affermano che lo scambio ha nascosto i suoi legami con la Cina, aggiungendo che i dirigenti hanno ripetutamente dato ordini ai membri del personale cover up the firm’s Chinese presence.

D'altra parte, il ramo statunitense dell'exchange di criptovalute, Binance US, non è stato in grado di garantire partnership bancarie per supportare i propri clienti nella regione. I recenti fallimenti della Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) e della Signature Bank hanno lasciato la principale borsa statunitense senza un partner.
