Binance afirma que a Reuters perdeu 'fatos críticos' em relatório recente
- A Reuters afirma que 190 contas da Binance foram apreendidas por Israel desde 2021 devido a seus vínculos com os grupos terroristas Hamas e Estado Islâmico.
- 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.
em um recente relatório, 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.
O meio de comunicação afirma que a Binance não respondeu às suas ligações e e-mails na quinta-feira antes de publicar o artigo. No entanto, depois que o artigo foi ao ar, a troca afirmou 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.”
A Binance acrescentou ainda que os autores do artigo da Reuters, Tom Wilson e Angus Berwick, fizeram várias tentativas na bolsa, mas deixaram de fora fatos críticos em cada um de seus relatórios.
Em outubro de 2022, Wilson e Berwick publicaram um relatório 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.
A bolsa também enfrenta várias acusações de várias entidades. Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, Binance, Changpeng Zhao e três influenciadores foram nomeado em um processo de $1 bilhão alegando que se dedicavam à promoção de valores mobiliários não registrados. Além disso, relatórios afirmam que a bolsa ocultou seus laços com a China, acrescentando que os executivos repetidamente deram ordens aos funcionários para cover up the firm’s Chinese presence.
Por outro lado, o braço americano da bolsa de criptomoedas, Binance US, não conseguiu garantir parcerias bancárias para oferecer suporte a seus clientes na região. As recentes falências do Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) e do Signature Bank deixaram a principal bolsa dos EUA sem um parceiro.
