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. 

w niedawnym raport, 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.

Media twierdzą, że Binance nie odpowiedział na jego telefony i e-maile w czwartek przed opublikowaniem artykułu. Jednak po opublikowaniu artykułu nastąpiła wymiana stwierdził 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 dodał ponadto, że autorzy artykułu Reutera, Tom Wilson i Angus Berwick, wykonali kilka ujęć giełdy, ale pominęli krytyczne fakty w każdym ze swoich raportów. 

W październiku 2022 roku Wilson i Berwick opublikowali a raport 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. 

Giełda spotkała się również z wieloma oskarżeniami ze strony różnych podmiotów. Jak donosił wcześniej Bitnation, Binance, Changpeng Zhao i trzej wpływowi byli nazwany w pozwie o wartości $1 miliardów twierdząc, że zaangażowali się w promocję niezarejestrowanych papierów wartościowych. Ponadto raporty twierdzą, że giełda ukrywała swoje powiązania z Chinami, dodając, że kierownictwo wielokrotnie wydawało pracownikom polecenia cover up the firm’s Chinese presence.

Z drugiej strony amerykańskie ramię giełdy kryptowalut, Binance US, nie było w stanie zabezpieczyć partnerstw bankowych w celu wsparcia swoich klientów w regionie. Ostatnie niepowodzenia Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) i Signature Bank pozostawiły wiodącą amerykańską giełdę bez partnera.
