Key Points:
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is currently facing legal action in Brazil. A congressional committee has recommended indicting Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and three other top executives for their involvement in fraudulent management and unauthorized financial activities. This recommendation is part of an investigation into pyramid schemes in Brazil.
Brazilian law enforcement has compiled a 508-page report that exposes these pyramid schemes. If the authorities proceed with indictments, Changpeng Zhao Indicted along with three other top executives for fraudulent management and operating a financial institution without authorization.
The report also implicates local Binance executives Daniel Mangabeira, Guilherme Haddad Nazar, and Thiago Carvalho for their involvement in fraudulent practices and unauthorized securities trading. It states that they established a network of legal entities controlled by Zhao to evade compliance with the law.
Binance’s Brazilian division is currently under investigation by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) for their derivatives sales. In August, CVM rejected a settlement offer of 2 million reais, or $395,835.80, from Binance’s local executives.
These legal challenges in Brazil compound the regulatory difficulties that Binance is already facing worldwide. CZ and his fellow executives now face uncertainty regarding potential legal consequences, which has significant implications for the crypto industry.
