On August 28, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) took action by filing a motion with the District Court of the Columbia, seeking to submit confidential documents regarding Binance.
These documents contain sensitive information accessible only to authorized individuals, with no public sharing. The SEC has also presented 37 supporting evidence pieces, including stateÂments from senior trial attorney JeÂnnifer Farer and SEC attorney MattheÂw Scarlato.
The SeÂcurities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed 13 charges against Binance, a prominent cryptocurreÂncy trading platform, its U.S. subsidiary Binance.US, and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. The SEC took this action in reÂsponse to alleged violations of a previous agreement made with Binance.
In response, Binance.US has filed for court protection, arguing that the SEC is exceeding the agreed terms of action. They are requesting the court to halt certain measures, like questioning their CEO and CFO, which seems unrelated to the caseÂ.
Judge Amy BeÂrman Jackson has sought the assistance of Magistrate Judge Faruqui to mediate and find a resolution for these disputes.
The actions and legal battles between the US SEC, Binance, and its subsidiary reveal a complex regulatory landscape, prompting court intervention to address the disagreements and seek resolution.
