The plaintiffs allege that Binance prioritized profits over legal compliance, resulting in substantial proceeds from enabling notorious actors to launder their funds.
The lawsuit describes Binance as a 'Crypto-Wash Empire', emphasizing the harm caused to consumers due to these illicit activities.
This legal action highlights ongoing concerns and scrutiny over cryptocurrency exchanges and their regulatory compliance.
