The probe, which started in 2018, is focused on Binance’s adherence to U.S. anti-money laundering laws and sanctions. Reuters reported that two of the sources shared that some of the at least half dozen federal prosecutors have argued that the evidence already presented is enough to take action against the exchange and bring criminal charges against Changpeng Zhao, the founder, while others have suggested waiting to review more evidence.

SBF says FTX had a 50% chance if Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, had not expressed concerns

In recent interviews, Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the infamous crypto exchange FTX, has spilled quite a bit of tea. The man once known as the crypto mogul has revealed that he has lost almost all of his wealth. SBF told Axios that the last time he checked his bank account, it held $100,000. This represents a more than 99% drop in his net worth, which was once estimated to be more than $16 billion prior to the collapse of FTX. Furthermore, the former FTX CEO’s fortune peaked at nearly $26.5 billion at one point. This, however, came crashing down
