30As negotiations between Binance<\/a> and U.S. authorities over legal violations came to a head in September, select high-value traders got an inside look at what was to come, according to new reporting from Bloomberg<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to unnamed attendees of a Binance-hosted dinner in Singapore, company representatives suggested to VIP traders that Binance would likely pay around $4 billion to settle and survive its legal troubles with the Department of Justice. These personnel allegedly suggested the firm could afford to pay the penalty.<\/p>\n

Binance has disputed these characterizations of the event but declined to clarify further.<\/p>\n

Reckoning<\/h2>\n

In November, just two months later, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao<\/a> entered a guilty plea in a U.S. federal court for charges related to money laundering. Zhao stepped down as CEO as part of his plea agreement, while the company\u00a0was fined $4.3 billion.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Binance committed numerous financial crimes<\/a> over the years, including failing to register as a money transmitter despite significant U.S. operations. It further alleged that Binance violated sanctions requirements, anti-money laundering rules, and know-your-customer protocols. Though Binance claimed to block U.S. users in 2019, the DOJ said it secretly kept providing services to critical high-net-worth traders.<\/p>\n

The $4.3 billion settlement with the DOJ closes just one chapter of Binance\u2019s ongoing legal saga. The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed separate charges<\/a> against Binance, its U.S. affiliate BAM Trading, and founder Changpeng Zhao. The SEC alleges that Binance and its U.S. affiliate, BAM Trading, operated unregistered exchanges, broker-dealers, and clearing agencies while selling unregistered securities, including the BNB token<\/a> and stablecoin BUSD<\/a>, among other violations.<\/p>\n

Zhao was succeeded as CEO by Richard Teng, who has held a number of leadership roles in the Binance organization since 2021. In a letter to VIP clients, incoming Teng expressed plans to deepen relationships as Binance enters its \u201cbest days\u201d ahead. However, with some lawsuits still pending, storm clouds remain on the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
