SEC sues Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao for U.S. securities violations PUBLISHED MON, JUN 5 202311:21 AM EDTUPDATED 10 MIN AGO thumbnail Rohan Goswami
KEY POINTS The SEC sued crypto exchange Binance and its billionaire founder, Changpeng Zhao, alleging that they worked to attract U.S. customers to its unregulated international exchange, commingled investor funds with their own and violated securities laws. The 13 charges come after the CFTC unveiled a similar complaint against Binance and Zhao earlier this year. Zhao dismissed the allegations on Twitter. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/05/sec-sues-binance-and-ceo-changpeng-zhao-for-us-securities-violations.html
Dismissing them on Twitter won't help. And it is about time.
