Binance faces US Iran sanctions probe
The article concerns the United States' investigations into the Binance platform regarding potential violations of U.S. sanctions imposed on Iran, particularly relating to knowingly allowing trading during 2023. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is leading the investigation in cooperation with the Department of Justice. Authorities are examining whether Binance intentionally permitted trading in a malicious manner, as its former CEO Changpeng Zhao admitted to violations related to anti-money laundering laws and settling for billions of dollars. These investigations occur within the context of the U.S. government's efforts to economically isolate Iran, following sanctions imposed on companies and individuals supporting Iran's activities, especially amid escalating international tensions.
