US SEC Lawsuit To Intensify?
The exit of around 100 employees from Binance US comes at a time when the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears to have intensified its efforts in the lawsuit. In a lawsuit filed in early June 2023, Binance, the company’s cofounder Changpeng Zhao, and Binance.US have been accused of mishandling customer funds, misleading investors and regulators, and violations of securities regulations.
Earlier in the week, CoinGape reported that the US SEC filed a memorandum in the Court in support of its motion to compel the exchange to submit documents related to the US customer assets.
