Binance descarta laços com a Binance LTD, com sede no Reino Unido
- A Binance cancelou recentemente seu registro no Reino Unido na FCA.
- A exchange de criptomoedas também emitiu uma nota de cessação e desistência para uma empresa nigeriana fraudulenta operando sob seu nome.
- A Binance retirou sua presença de Chipre e da Holanda nos últimos dias.
For the second time in a week, cryptocurrency exchange Binance has issued a cease-and-desist order to a fake company operating under its name. The crypto exchange took to Twitter to announce that it had issued a notice to UK-based Binance Ltd. Binance clarified that it was not affiliated with Binance LTD and called it “a scam company.”
Binance’s disclaimer came in response to a Reddit publicar that suggested that the exchange “has a utility closet listed as an office in the UK.” The supposed affiliate, Binance Ltd., reportedly operates a registered office in Mildenhall, Suffolk. The government’s company register, Companies House, says Binance Ltd. shares an office location with more than 2,400 organizations.
As of this writing, the specifics surrounding Binance Ltd. are still unknown. However, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority has previously issued public warnings about the existence of cryptocurrency “clone” businesses. Clone companies involve fraudulent organizations using the details of legitimate companies to persuade their victims.
Além das crescentes pressões regulatórias, a Binance teve que se distanciar de supostas empresas falsas que operam sob sua marca. Atualmente, existem várias empresas no Reino Unido operando sob a marca Binance. A Binance emitiu recentemente uma ordem semelhante de cessar e desistir para uma suposta afiliada nigeriana, supostamente solicitando investidores locais.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao took to Twitter to brand the company as a “scammer entity.” The news came as Nigerian regulators claimed Binance had operated illegally in the West African nation and was not registered with the appropriate authorities. Interestingly, the operators of Binance Nigeria Limited allegedly confirmed that they had planned to sell the company to Binance.
Meanwhile, Binance Global hasn’t had the best of times in recent weeks. The company has recently retirado sua presença da Holanda, Chipre e Canadá. Além disso, a exchange cripto foi processada pela Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos EUA por vender valores mobiliários e usar indevidamente fundos de clientes.
