Binance утверждает, что Reuters упустило «важные факты» в недавнем отчете
- Агентство Reuters утверждает, что с 2021 года Израиль конфисковал 190 учетных записей Binance из-за их связей с террористическими группировками ХАМАС и Исламское государство.
- 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.
В недавнем отчет, 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.
СМИ утверждают, что Binance не ответила на его звонки и электронные письма в четверг до публикации статьи. Однако после того, как статья была опубликована, обмен заявил 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 также добавила, что авторы статьи Reuters, Том Уилсон и Ангус Бервик, сделали несколько снимков биржи, но упустили важные факты в каждом из своих отчетов.
В октябре 2022 года Уилсон и Бервик опубликовали отчет 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.
Биржа также столкнулась с многочисленными обвинениями со стороны различных организаций. Как сообщали ранее Bitnation, Binance, Changpeng Zhao и три влиятельных лица, назван в иске на $1 миллиард утверждая, что они занимались продвижением незарегистрированных ценных бумаг. Кроме того, в сообщениях утверждается, что биржа скрыла свои связи с Китаем, добавив, что руководители неоднократно отдавали приказы сотрудникам cover up the firm’s Chinese presence.
С другой стороны, американское подразделение криптовалютной биржи Binance US не смогло обеспечить партнерские отношения с банками для поддержки своих клиентов в регионе. Недавние банкротства Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) и Signature Bank оставили ведущую биржу США без партнера.
