PANews reported on November 28, citing Bloomberg, that former Binance executive Amrita Srivastava filed a whistleblower lawsuit in the UK, accusing a colleague of soliciting bribes from clients to expedite service processes, and claimed she was unfairly dismissed for exposing the incident. Srivastava stated that the colleague charged clients under the guise of 'consulting services' while falsely claiming not to be a Binance employee.
Binance responded that the company was already aware of the matter and had initiated an internal investigation. Srivastava was fired due to poor performance, and the decision to terminate her was made before she filed the complaint.
