The Binance Exchange Breeches The Trading Sanctions Imposed On Russia

Binance reduced its services in Russia after the war began. However, there have been reports which show that the exchange is still receiving a lot of trading activities in the country.

Referring to the Wall Street Journal, the US  Department of Justice (DoJ) found out that people using Binance in Russia performed transactions with the help of brokers. The brokers managed to link the sanctioned bank accounts of the users to their Binance accounts.

The exchange platform has also been allowing peer-to-peer transactions between bank accounts that were not accepted in the U.S.A. The reports are based on proof such as screenshots of the transactions, the Binance official website, and messages in chat groups.
