Just warning the community.... DO NOT HOLD LARGE BAGS on any exchange

  • Reuters reported that Binance commingled billions of dollars almost daily in accounts it held at Silvergate Bank, the now-collapsed U.S. lender.
  • In one instance, Binance was alleged to have mixed $20 million from a corporate account with $15 million from an account that received customer money.
  • Binance spokesperson Brad Jaffe denied the allegations, saying that the Silvergate Bank accounts were not used to accept user deposits and rather used to facilitate user purchases of crypto.
  • In March, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) sued Binance for allegedly operating an “illegal” exchange and a “sham” compliance program. The CFTC's complaint also alleged that certain Binance entities “have commingled funds.”
  • Binance declined to comment on the Reuters report, but a spokesperson referred The Block to Hillmann's tweets, which said that Binance keeps "user and corporate funds on completely separate ledgers."

Thanks Sanjay for sharing

With all the attacks on crypto from every angle, I think i'd lean towards believing Binance without a lot more proof than that. Their explanation makes sense.

To leave is etoro ok to leave stocks and crypto on. I think it's regulated.

Binance did reply to the article. They tried to explain/justify the wrong info. The reply is out there.

Wow this all caps response is a bit akward, yelling at community members for pointing out cracks in the logic is not needed. I am just stating facts here the sources that are shared are usual US narratives and certainly biased.

Coinbase is a publicly traded company, they go through rigorous internal controls testing by independent auditors typically BIG4 accounting firms. Further, their financial statements are signed by an exec like the CFO or maybe Brian, CEO, if they lied 🤥 they do to jail. I don’t understand why people use Binance after all these rumors. Maybe the fee is higher but that’s nothing compared to risk of losing all your coins. My 2 cents

Just to be clear, The way your comment is framed you are attributing bias to James (as opposed to US media sources) Also, celebrity businessman Mr Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary - built a fortune of close to a half a billion dollars was also a heavy SBF investor and supporter and possibly still is: https://news.bitcoin.com/kevin-oleary-slammed-for-saying-hed-back-former-ftx-ceo-again-insists-sbf-is-a-brilliant-crypto-trader/ PS As self-deluded and irresponsible as Bankman Fried was with the integrity of the FTX operations, the financial controls issues were not evident to even the smartest people. Moreover, my personal belief is, that (1) SBF never set out to defraud anyone; and (2) but for the abrupt and epic collapse of the crypto market... and especially the FUD-mongering by CZ about liquidity, FTX would still be standing.

Looks like possible Jail time does not deter CEOs from wrongdoing these days, Do Kwon, Alex Mashinsky, SBF are such examples! Binance may have its skeletons but I believe CZ has been trying to self-regulate to put Binance on the right path, it was not until s**t hits the fan with ftx / Luna that is probably when they identified such risks and implemented changes to plug the holes. There has been no black-and-white to say what is right or wrong, even the SEC could not figure things out today. Binance has become the piratebay of crypto because of CZ, he's the guy who sold his house for Binance back in the days, his persistence and determination to keep Binance going and growing is just insane, jumping hurdle after another while under all the global bans and regulatory pressure is no easy feat and I admire that...having said that, I too would not hold large bags on Binance but there is no reason not to use them for sure.
