    FTX deja vu. BinanceUS secretly moved $400M from its Silvergate account to Merit Peak Ltd., a possible alter-ego of Binance CEO CZ. Transaction done via BinanceUS's covert “black-box” software. No Oversight. Crypto-Financial Anarchy. A Glaring Red Flag. https://www.reuters.com/..…

    https://binance.us/'s executives, including then CEO Catherine Coley, were concerned by the outflows because the transfers were taking place without their knowledge, according to messages we reviewed. “Where are those funds coming from?” Coley asked a Binance executive

    This matches what is already known about the relationship between Binance US and Binance. Recently we showed over $1 billion in transfers between the two exchanges using only one pair of addresses and PROVED commingling of customer assets with overseas Binance funds: https://twit…

    This suspiciously looks like bad news that was being front ran by insiders. Global cryptocurrency exchange Binance had secret access to a bank account belonging to its purportedly independent U.S. partner and transferred large sums of money. FTX 2.0. https://www.reuters.com/...
  • @ldrogen Leigh Drogen on x
    It would explain quite a bunch if Binance Yolo'ed a bunch of customer money in early 2021 into crypto, but unlike FTX they made a boat load, then took it out of the market and that's where all this wealth he throws around came from https://twitter.com/...

    Yup, crypto's totally cool... https://twitter.com/...
