Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao has denied allegations by the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) of willfully violating US laws.
According to multiple media sources, CFTC filed a civil enforcement action in a federal court in Chicago. Allegedly, Zhao violated CFTC regulations and Commodity Exchange Act laws, and the former chief compliance officer assisted him in doing so.
“Defendants have disregarded applicable federal laws while fostering Binance’s US customer base because it has been profitable for them to do so,” the complaint said. In his blog post, Zhao claimed the allegations unexpected and disappointing. He also said that the complaint contains an 'incomplete recitation of facts' and that the company disagrees with many of the issues raised in the complaint.
