Binance and Zhao accept a $2.7 billion fine: judge approves agreement with CFTC
Recently, a US judge has approved the agreement between Binance and former CEO Changpeng Zhao, which involves the payment of a total fine of 2.7 billion dollars.
This amount is an integral part of a larger agreement of 4.3 billion dollars agreed upon by Binance with the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in November.
As part of this resolution, Changpeng Zhao has resigned from his position as CEO of Binance, subsequently also stepping down from the board of directors of Binance.US.
Judge Manish Shah of the Northern District of Illinois District Court has issued an order that formalizes the agreement, thus putting an end to the CFTC’s coercive action against Binance and CZ.
The CFTC announced through a press release that Zhao will have to pay a fine of $150 million, while Binance will have to pay $2.7 billion.
Of this amount, 1.35 billion dollars will go to the CFTC, while the same amount will be used to reimburse illicit trading fees.
The rigid compliance measures for Binance
The court order highlights that Zhao and Binance have violated the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations.
In addition, the court has ordered them to certify the existence, application, and effectiveness of Binance’s improved compliance controls.
The ordinance also imposes restrictions and warnings against further violations, requiring that each new user complete identity validation procedures (KYC).
Among the additional obligations imposed on Binance and Zhao is the guarantee that sub-accounts, including those of prime brokers, cannot bypass the compliance checks of the exchange.
In addition, the exchange commits to eliminate accounts that do not meet compliance requirements or fail to complete KYC checks.
The court’s decision also approved a civil penalty of $1.5 million against Samuel Lim, the former Chief Compliance Officer of Binance, accused of favoring and facilitating the violations committed by Binance, including being involved in offshore activities that sought to evade US laws.
