CEO da Binance acusado de fraude pelo Congresso Brasileiro
- Um comitê do Congresso brasileiro recomendou que as agências policiais locais investiguem a Binance e seu CEO.
- Alega que a bolsa, o CEO Zhao e seus executivos locais estão envolvidos em esquemas fraudulentos.
- O comitê do Congresso acusou a empresa de operar sem licença suficiente na região.
- The firm has “set up an opaque network of legal entities, all controlled directly or indirectly by Zhao,” it said.
Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance, is now a target of a Brazilian congressional committee that has recommended law enforcement actions against the executive and seeks to indict the billionaire entrepreneur over alleged fraudulent financial pyramid schemes in the South American country.
Uma página de 500 relatório foi publicado pelo comitê brasileiro em 10 de outubro, no qual o CEO da Binance, juntamente com os executivos locais Daniel Mangabeira, Guilherme Haddad Nazar e Thiago Carvalho, foram acusados de práticas fraudulentas de gestão, operando sem autorização suficiente e oferecendo negociação de valores mobiliários sem autorização.
The committee led by deputy Ricardo Silva claimed that Binance, Zhao, and others “set up an opaque network of legal entities, all controlled directly or indirectly by Zhao, without defined business purposes and with no other purpose than evading compliance with the law.” The committee also suggested the indictment of 45 other people, citing “strong evidence” of their alleged participation in criminal schemes.
Silva noted that Binance’s operations in several jurisdictions are being investigated, and in Brazil, the authorities believe that the exchange is “surrounded by suspicion.” The Congressional committee asked the Federal Public Ministry to launch an investigation into the crypto exchange and its executives. The focus of the investigation would be on tax evasion, money laundering, and the financing of organized crime and terrorism.
The committee also targeted the crypto exchange’s sale of derivatives products, asking the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) to launch an investigation into these products. It believes that despite being told to cease offering derivatives to the country’s citizens, Binance continued to offer them, which constituted a “repeated violation” of market regulations.
É importante notar que os documentos de 500 páginas do comité não são vinculativos para as autoridades locais responsáveis pela aplicação da lei, mas são meras sugestões. Os reguladores regionais decidirão se iniciarão uma investigação ou se absterão de fazê-lo.
As reported earlier by Bitnation, Binance confirmed that it was helping Israel’s police freeze some crypto accounts ligado ao grupo Hamas. As autoridades apreenderam 190 contas ligadas ao Hamas na principal bolsa desde 2021.
