A Brazilian congressional committee has recommended the indictment of Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao and three other executives for fraud and securities violations. The decision to press charges now rests with the Brazilian police. The committee alleges that Zhao and the executives engaged in fraudulent management, unauthorized trading of securities, and operating a financial institution without authorization. The committee also requested Brazil’s securities regulator to investigate Binance’s derivatives sales. Binance has responded by stating that it has cooperated with the committee and strongly rejects the allegations. In addition to the Brazilian investigation, Binance and its executives are facing scrutiny from authorities in the US and France. The company has also exited several countries in anticipation of regulatory challenges.
