Internal Data Leak Exposes Binance’s Oversight Failures On ‘Suspicious Accounts’
Internal data leaks reveal that Binance allegedly failed to adequately monitor hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through accounts flagged for suspicious activity, despite its 2023 settlement with US authorities. According to the Financial Times, 13 accounts processed $1.7 billion in transactions, with $144 million occurring post-settlement. One account received over $177 million and changed banking details 647 times in 14 months. Another $93 million was linked to a network accused of funding Iran and Hezbollah. Binance claims it maintains strict compliance controls and a zero-tolerance policy toward illicit activity. Independent monitors were appointed in May 2024, though many flagged transactions occurred after oversight began.
