The WSJ’s reporting continues to contain fundamental inaccuracies about the facts and Binance’s commitment to a strong compliance framework. Fact: Binance did not permit any transactions with sanctioned individuals on its platform, and transactions mentioned by WSJ happened before these individuals were sanctioned. Fact: Binance proactively investigated these issues before the WSJ outreach. Binance provided these facts to the WSJ and it did not print them. Fact: Binance has zero-tolerance for illicit activity and has built and operates a best-in-class industry-leading compliance program that continues to grow. Binance will continue working closely with US and global law enforcement authorities to combat financial crime.(Richard Teng)
