The hits just keep on coming for the crypto industry—and we don’t mean that in a good way.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to violating money-laundering laws, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. Along with that plea, he will pay a $50 million fine and step down as CEO of the cryptocurrency company. Binance itself also pleaded guilty and pay $4.3 billion in fines and restitution, according to court documents made public and viewed by the newspaper. (Lawyers for Zhao, who is considered to be the richest man in the crypto industry, could not be reached for comment by the Times.)
Although crypto is still in its relative infancy, Binance has been one of the biggest players in the game. At certain points, the company has processed two-thirds of all digital currency trades, The New York Times noted. These recent pleas, then, deal a massive blow to one of the most influential exchanges and figures in the nascent cryptocurrency movement.
The court documents outlined the ways in which Binance and Zhao tried to avoid laws limiting their reach. For example, they weren’t supposed to do business with people facing economic sanctions, but customers in Iran, Cuba, and Syria—sanctioned countries—were all able to access Binance’s platform. Additionally, U.S. patrons were required to use a different platform that adhered to American anti-money-laundering laws. But Zhao reportedly wanted important these customers to use the main Binance.com forum, and he obscured the company’s dealings with American VIPs to “have the U.S. supervision agencies not cause any troubles,” according to the court documents.
Binance’s saga is just the latest in a long string of difficulties for the crypto industry. Earlier in November, FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of fraud related to his failed exchange, which infamously came crashing down a year ago. Since then, crypto executives have come under enhanced scrutiny, with the Securities and Exchange Commission filing numerous lawsuits against their companies. Also this week, the Times wrote, the Kraken exchange was accused by the SEC of operating without proper registration and mixing customer deposits with the company’s corporate assets.
