[Wu Blockchain News] Forbes: Former Binance Investigator Says Management Ignored Probe Into 2,000 Suspected Iran-Linked Accounts Involving $1.2B; Binance Denies Firing Staff Over Sanctions Investigations

The DOJ and IRS have issued multiple subpoenas and search warrants involving Binance and former employees, and one former investigator was ordered to testify before a federal grand jury. Binance denied firing staff over sanctions investigations, attributing the departures to breaches of customer data privacy policies, and said it is cooperating with law enforcement. No criminal charges have been filed. The disclosure renews scrutiny of Binance's sanctions compliance and internal controls, with attention now on whether federal prosecutors escalate the probe and how the exchange responds to the grand jury activity.
