Binance founder Changpeng "#CZ " Zhao remains under legal scrutiny, transferred to a halfway house but not yet released, with a new lawsuit adding to mounting regulatory pressures.
the Binance founder, he faces another significant legal hurdle recently. On August 16, a lawsuit was filed against Changpeng Zhao and Binance by three crypto traders.
The plaintiffs have accused the exchange of enabling the laundering of stolen funds due to its failure to implement robust anti-money laundering (AML) and KYC protocols. The lawsuit alleges that these regulatory lapses allowed criminals to funnel illicit gains through the leading crypto exchange, compromising the security of the userâs funds.
The accusations add to the mounting legal pressures on Changpeng Zhao and Binance, which have already faced scrutiny from various regulatory bodies worldwide. This latest lawsuit could further complicate Binanceâs operations, potentially leading to increased regulatory oversight and stricter compliance measures in the future.
However, in a recent interview, CEO Richard Teng said that Binance would spend a hefty amount on regulatory compliance. He suggests that the exchange will further increase its focus on compliance and hire more people to achieve that.
