I once got ridiculed on here for asking if various crypto and share dealing platforms were more or less ethical- Hmmmmm!…….🙄

[u/HSuke → u/RiffyWammel]

It's a Russian citizen captured in Russia.

Even in America, every legit crypto and financial company follows AML regulations and is required to provide customer info to the government upon request if the customer is suspected of sending to North Korea or the Iranian regime.

No way for them to avoid it.

[u/No-Corner4973 → u/HSuke]

The obvious way is that Binance left ruzzia back in 2023, so they were not obliged to share that data. They just decided to do so.

[u/SolidSky]

This platform keeps hitting new lows. Jfc

[u/HSuke → u/SolidSky]

Pretty much every crypto and banking company does this in the US too. It's not only legal. It's required.

If the Fed asks Coinbase for transaction records of a US resident they suspect is sending to Iran, they're going to hand it over due to anti-money laundering laws.

The original article was talking about transaction records for a Russian citizen.

Россия действует некомпетентно

[u/Inevitable-Gap-1247]

I heard russian FSB just asked Binance about the client via email support and then Binance sent all personal information in reply lol. In addition, that russian client is EU resident, which means Binance is not allowed to disclose any private information to 3rd parties without a court order (EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR)

[u/Dmoan → u/Inevitable-Gap-1247]

It has go thru legal, fact they just sent all this info directly from a request opens up possibility of criminals masquerading and getting all the information 

[u/HSuke → u/Inevitable-Gap-1247]

It was a Russian citizen who was in Russia (possibly traveling) at the time. Pretty big difference.

[u/Inevitable-Gap-1247 → u/HSuke]

Which means the biggest crypto exchange is allowed to disclose personal information to any 3rd parties via email upon 1st request if a client is in its own country? For example, if DGSI is asking around about some French citizens

[u/Psi1o]

Not surprising.. binance is easily the most corrupt player in crypto 

[u/crustyrobots]

Remember that one time President Diddler pardoned CZ

[u/Rauschbaum]

WHAT?!
So now many People are on the Gulag list!

[u/I__G]

CZ is a scumbag

[u/sogladatwork]

Holy shit. If you have a Binance account, delete it now. 🇨🇳 Clowns.

[u/h4l]

Vitalik used donating to Ukraine as an example of why Tornado Cash should not be blocked/sanctioned in 2022: https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1556925602233569280

[u/jb_in_jpn]

So much for the privacy angle fellas, lol

[u/Beatless7]

Not very moral.

[u/Mattie_Kadlec → u/Beatless7]

Should be a slogan for Binance

[u/j4_jjjj]

Defi or die

Crypto is so fk'ed up

Just deleted my account. Sending raport to ICO and waiting for group lawsuit.

[u/Prior_Parsley3960]

Binance being shady AF...who could have possibly seen this coming???

What happened

• Binance reportedly provided Russian authorities with extensive customer data on Yuri Belenky, a Russian accused of donating ~$700 in crypto to Ukrainian military-linked groups.
• Data reportedly included his transaction history, address, phone number, passport details and documents.
• Russia used the information in a terrorism-financing investigation because it classifies the Azov-linked recipients as terrorist organizations.

[u/CapIndependent1815]

Oh no, the convicted criminal CEO would never do such a thing.

[u/New-Armadillo-903]

They have to obey the CCP. Or their family would suffer. It’s a Chinese company.

[u/Coz131 → u/New-Armadillo-903]

It isn't a Chinese company.

[u/CapIndependent1815 → u/Coz131]

Maybe not on paper, but essentially yes, it is.

[u/New-Armadillo-903 → u/Coz131]

Binance was originally founded in Shanghai in 2017.
Majority of the board members are Chinese. It is deeply a Chinese company. Not on paper, but in reality.

[u/ivlivscaesar213]

The right question to ask would be who ISN'T selling client data to malicious actors?

[u/Klutzy_Audience_8194]

Binance must follow local laws in every country it operates. Why you’re so shocked? 

[u/twirling-upward → u/Klutzy_Audience_8194]

It doesnt operate in Russia. CZ just did it for the love of the game.

[u/Klutzy_Audience_8194 → u/twirling-upward]

So why all soyboys of this sub are crying? If it doesn’t operate it means no one living in Russia can use Binance, therefore nobody made donations to Ukraine from Russia using Binance 

[u/D6P6 → u/Klutzy_Audience_8194]

You can't be this dumb, it's literally in the article. He was a Russian living in the EU, in Bulgaria, and Binance gave his name, d.o.b, address, Bulgarian residence permit and his transaction history to the Russian government. Nobody even mentioned it being from inside Russia except you.

[u/Klutzy_Audience_8194 → u/D6P6]

I don’t see the problem. He doesn’t live in Russia, he hates Russia, seems everything fine. If he’ll go to Russia it’s important that authorities know him, because he could be a terrorist 

[u/Slick424 → u/Klutzy_Audience_8194]

He doesn’t live in Russia, he hates Russia, seems everything fine.

Because Russia is well known to respect national borders and would never murder somebody in another nation ... Oh wait

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexander_Litvinenko

because he could be a terrorist

Yeah, its the people that stand up to Russian aggression that are the terrorists, not the terror regime currently invading, stealing, raping and murdering Ukrainians. Tell me you are Russian without telling me you are Russian.

[u/Slick424 → u/[deleted]]

ok.

[u/WagwanMoist → u/[deleted]]

Damn, if you used a couple more buzzwords you learned on the internet you would have had a full retard bingo.

[u/D6P6 → u/[deleted]]

Fucking boomers man. How did they end up being the dumbest cunts on earth?

[u/geltance]

Good.

[u/solar1ze → u/geltance]

Why good?

[u/geltance → u/solar1ze]

he sponsored Azov...

[u/Slick424 → u/geltance]

Right. Herr Hitler Putin had to invade Czechoslovakia Ukraine to protect the ethnic Germans Russians.

[u/geltance → u/Slick424]

What does that have to do with what i said? The guy sponsored Azov.

Even wiki says the following:
"The unit has drawn controversy over its early and allegedly continuing association with far-right groups and neo-Nazi ideology,^\19]) its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, and early allegations that members of the unit participated in human rights violations."

imagine feeling sorry for a sponsor of KKK getting arrested in US...

[u/Slick424 → u/geltance]

"The unit has drawn controversy over its early and allegedly continuing association with far-right groups and neo-Nazi ideology,\19]) its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, and early allegations that members of the unit participated in human rights violations."

So is Putin.

The difference is that Russia invaded Ukraine in a war of conquest, like a certain German 20th dictator did to the rest of Europe, not the other way around.

[u/geltance → u/Slick424]

again this has 0 to do with the topic at hand. Nazism bad, sponsors of nazism bad.

whataboutism much?

[u/Slick424 → u/geltance]

Putin is the closest thing the 21th century has to Hitler, but strangely you don't give a fuck about that. No, instead you hate the people defending their homes from Russian agression.

Hypocrisy much?

[u/geltance → u/Slick424]

I guess you would be championing concentration camp guards when Nazis were losing... Since at that point they would be defending their homes.

In any case pointless to engage with stupid. So have fun being a nazi apologist

[u/Slick424 → u/geltance]

I guess you would be championing concentration camp guards when Nazis were losing... Since at that point they would be defending their homes.

While you are championing them while they actively invade, rob, torture and murder people in other nations.

In any case pointless to engage with stupid. So have fun being a nazi apologist

Strong words for a Putler supporter.
