Binance.US CEO Makes Serious Accusation to SEC: 'We Are Being Subjected to “Operation Chokepoint”!'

Binance.US interim CEO Norman Reed has accused the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of labeling the exchange a “cauldron of fraud” without providing evidence in court. Binance.US CEO Accuses SEC of Baseless Claims, Calls Actions “Operation Chokepoint” Reed alleged that the SEC’s actions, including cutting off Binance.US’s banking relationships and money traffic, were part of a broader strategy to crack down on the crypto industry, commonly referred to as “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.” The SEC filed a lawsuit against Binance.US, Binance Global, and its founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) in June 2023 following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
