The legal action<\/a><\/strong> accuses the company and Zhao of facilitating large-scale money laundering and flouting U.S. financial laws.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed by former users Philip Martin, Natalie Tang, and Yatin Khanna, claims Binance\u2019s inadequate compliance measures enabled the laundering of stolen cryptocurrencies, leading to substantial losses for American users. It alleges that Binance, under Zhao\u2019s guidance, operated without proper licensing and ignored anti-money laundering regulations, thereby assisting criminals in disguising illegal funds.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs argue that Binance\u2019s growth was partly due to its evasion of U.S. regulatory standards, which would have otherwise limited its access to the American market. They also assert that Zhao\u2019s focus on profit over regulatory compliance created a system where users could evade basic checks.<\/p>\n
