Secret Fund Transfer
The Binance Fan token development comes amid more serious issues plaguing the leading crypto exchange. A report from a few days ago uncovered an alleged fund misappropriation scheme by Binance. According to this report, the world’s largest exchange had secret access to its US-based partner’s bank account. Furthermore, Binance also allegedly transferred $400 million from that account to a trading firm managed by its CEO Changpeng Zhao.
A paper trail of money transfers revealed that the money was transferred from Binance.US’ Silvergate Bank account to Merit Peak Ltd. Furthermore, Reuters said the fund transfer began in late 2020 and lasted the first three months of 2021. The Reuters publication could not ascertain if the transferred funds belong to Binance’s US customers. Also, the report also could not determine the reason for the transfer of such funds.
Binance.US spokesperson Kimberly Soward responded to the Reuter’s report at the time, calling it “outdated information.” However, Soward also did not address the transfers.
