CZ's response on CFTC allegations (1/2):
Cooperation and Transparency with Law Enforcement. Binance is committed to transparency and cooperation with regulators and law enforcement (LE) — in the US and globally. Binance currently has more than 750 people in our Compliance teams, many with prior law enforcement and regulatory agency backgrounds. To date, we have handled 55,000+ LE requests, and assisted US LE freeze/seize more than $125 million in funds in 2022 alone and $160 million in 2023 so far.
Registrations and Licenses. Binance.com holds the highest number of licenses/registrations globally, 16 and counting, and is well regarded by our user community.
Trading. Binance.com does not trade for profit or “manipulate” the market under any circumstances. Binance “trades” in a number of situations. Our revenues are in crypto. We do need to convert them from time-to-time to cover expenses in fiat or other crypto currencies. We have affiliates that provide liquidity for less liquid pairs. These affiliates are monitored specifically not to have large profits.
Personally, I have two accounts at Binance: one for Binance Card, one for my crypto holdings. I eat our own dog food and store my crypto on Binance.com. I also need to convert crypto from time-to-time to pay for my personal expenses or for the Card.

CZ's response on CFTC allegations (2/2):
Binance.com has a 90 day no-day-trading rule for employees, meaning you are not allowed to sell a coin within 90 days of your most recent buy, or vice versa. This is to prevent any employees from actively trading. We also prohibit our employees from trading in Futures. Further, we have strict policies for anyone with access to private information, such as details of listings, Launchpad, etc. They are not allowed to buy or sell those coins.
I observe these policies myself strictly. I also never participated in Binance Launchpad, Earn, Margin, or Futures. I know the best use of my time is to build a solid platform that services our users.
At Binance, we look for amicable solutions to all problems. We are collaborative with regulators and government agencies all around the world. While we are not perfect, we hold ourselves to a high standard, often higher than what existing regulations require. And above all, we believe in doing the right thing by our users at all times. In this journey towards freedom of money, we do not expect everything to be easy. We do not shy away from challenges.

Bitcoin and Ether Are Commodities, Says CFTC in Binance Lawsuit
According to the complaint, “Binance, under Zhao’s direction and control and with Lim’s willful and substantial assistance, has solicited and accepted orders, accepted property to margin, and operated a facility for the trading of futures, options, swaps, and leveraged retail commodity transactions involving digital assets that are commodities including bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and litecoin (LTC) for persons in the United States.”
If Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are commodities, is CFTC hinting they are already regulated? 👍/👎

Every time Sam Bankman-Fried ends up back in the news, we’re always reminded of Frodo Baggins in the “Lord of the Rings” movies, looking (longingly?) at his sidekick Sam and uttering, “Oh, Sam.”
The former FTX chief executive officer was slapped with new criminal charges, this time for allegedly bribing one or more Chinese officials to unfreeze Alameda Research accounts.
The 13-count superseding indictment was unsealed on Tuesday morning. The filing includes a new count for conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Bankman-Fried and others allegedly directed and caused the transfer of approximately $40 million in cryptocurrency intended to benefit one or more Chinese government officials, according to the indictment.
"Bankman-Fried and others agreed to pay cryptocurrency to one or more foreign officials in China to influence and induce them to unfreeze the accounts in order to assist Bankman-Fried, Alameda, and others in obtaining and retaining business for, and directing business to, Bankman-Fried, Alameda, and others,” the superseding indictment says.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York previously unsealed a 12-count superseding indictment against Bankman-Fried in February. The former FTX boss has not been arraigned on five of the 13 charges in the new indictment.
