Binance, Kara Para Aklama Soruşturmalarına İlişkin İddiaları Reddetti
- Reuters claims the DOJ’s inquiry involves prosecutors at the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, and the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team.
- Olası suçlamalarla ilgili raporları yalanlayan Binance, dünyanın dört bir yanındaki yetkililerle işbirliği yapan yaklaşık 300 siber müfettişten oluşan bir ekibi olduğunu söyledi.
Earlier today, Reuters reported that a possible division among prosecutors in the US Department of Justice is delaying the completion of a lengthy criminal investigation into Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange. The platform claimed that sources familiar with the matter said prosecutors have different opinions about whether the present evidence is sufficient to press charges against the exchange and its executives.
However, Binance took to Twitter to dismiss the report, claiming the news site got it wrong this time. The trading platform accused Reuters of “attacking our incredible law enforcement team. A team that we’re incredibly proud of – they’ve made crypto more secure for all of us.”
Binance, suçla mücadelesini detaylandıran bir açıklama ve bir blog yazısı paylaştı. Ticaret şirketi, bir sözcü aracılığıyla, ABD Adalet Bakanlığı'nın iç işleyişine dair herhangi bir içgörüye sahip olmadığını ve varsa yorum yapmanın uygun olmayacağını da sözlerine ekledi.
Binance revealed that it had in its ranks some of the most renowned cyber investigators representing major law enforcement agencies around the world. The popular exchange further said it has a team of almost 300 financial crime investigators working to keep users safe, adding that “their hard work has directly resulted in a crypto ecosystem that has far less criminal activity on average than the traditional cash system.”
Binance ayrıca ekibin bilgisayar korsanlığı, dolandırıcılık, yatırım dolandırıcılığı, kara para aklama, ulus-devlet destekli saldırılar ve diğer suçları içeren vakaları çözmek için dünyanın dört bir yanındaki emniyet teşkilatlarıyla işbirliği yaptığını da belirtti. Ek olarak kripto borsası, ekibin Interpol, Europol ve Brezilya, Arjantin ve diğer ülkelerdeki icra daireleri ile oturumlar düzenlediğini ortaya çıkardı.

During the past year, this program has led to us sharing our insider knowledge and expertise over the course of more than 70 workshops and training sessions with law enforcement and prosecutors in a variety of countries — from Asia to Europe, and the Americas. The list includes Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Netherlands, Philippines, Sweden, South Korea, Thailand, and the UK — to name but a few.
Binance ve DOJ
The focus of the DOJ‘s inquiry, which began in 2018, was Binance’s compliance with AML regulations and sanctions in the United States. U.S. authorities were looking into allegations of conspiracy to launder money, unauthorized money transmission, and criminal sanctions breaches.
According to two Reuter’s sources, several of the at least six federal prosecutors working the case feel that the information previously acquired supports taking serious action against the exchange and charging certain officials, including the founder Changpeng Zhao, with crimes. The sources claimed that others have urged for taking the time to consider further evidence.
According to the article, Binance’s defense lawyers met with Justice Department representatives recently and advocated against taking legal action. The crypto exchange warned that any legal action taken against them might have a disastrous effect on the cryptocurrency industry. The negotiations allegedly covered prospective plea bargains, according to the report.
