Binance co-founder Yi He warns of the risk of suspicious funds being transferred into frozen accounts.

Binance co-founder Yi He warned users on November 8 not to deposit funds of questionable origin into the exchange, citing discounted USDT from friends and money passed through third-party accounts as common examples. She noted that addresses may already be flagged before illicit funds reach the platform, and that incoming transfers risk being frozen by law enforcement. Such cases are typically complex and slow to resolve, and Binance itself has no authority to unfreeze the assets. The warning matters because frozen deposits can leave users without access to their balances for extended periods even after the exchange receives the funds. What to watch next is whether Binance introduces stricter source-of-funds checks or deposit warnings for flagged addresses.
