Binance faces second probe over Iran-linked billions

US investigators want to know if Binance knowingly facilitated Iran’s crypto-based illegal oil sales via two Chinese entities.

US seizes $61M of Iranian crypto profits allegedly laundered through Binance

A US civil forfeiture complaint is attempting to seize $61M worth of cryptocurrency tied to Iran’s illegal oil sales that relied on Binance.

As this month’s UAE police detention illustrates, Binance customers’ deposits still sit in accounts that put staff within reach of police.

Binance reportedly bent to Russia’s request for customer transfer details despite fully withdrawing its operations from Russia in 2023.

The lawsuit, accusing Binance of offering illegal derivative products, was filed the day before the exchange’s forced EU exit.
