Binance.US Faces SEC’s ‘Fraudulent Bonfire’ Claims Amid Losses and Layoffs, CEO Norman Reed Responds

In a recent revelation by COINOTAG News, the ongoing struggles of Binance.US have drawn significant attention from financial regulators. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), led by chairman Gary Gensler, has publicly labeled the platform as a “fraudulent bonfire.” This assertion has reportedly undermined Binance.US’s banking connections and access to USD fiat channels. In a counterpoint, interim CEO Norman Reed firmly argued that the SEC has not presented any substantiating evidence in court to back their serious claims. Reed lamented the severe repercussions of the SEC’s actions, highlighting a massive withdrawal of funds and a staggering loss of customers, resulting in the termination of 70% of the workforce. He criticized the agency’s approach, likening it to financial sabotage akin to what occurred with FTX. Encouragingly, Reed indicated that negotiations to restore USD fiat services are underway.
