The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an emergency motion in the District of Columbia U.S. District Court for a temporary restraining order against Binance, Binance.US and CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) on June 6, requesting eight actions.
Бараните активности вклучуваат замрзнување на средствата на Binance.US и репатријација на фиат и криптовалути кои ги поседуваат клиентите од САД или во корист на клиентите во САД. Покрај тоа, предлогот им забранува на обвинетите да уништуваат, менуваат или прикриваат записи и наметнуваат други услови за откривање.
Според поднесокот:
“This relief is necessary on an expedited basis to ensure the safety of customer assets and prevent the dissipation of available assets for any judgment, given the Defendants’ years of violative conduct, disregard of the laws of the United States, evasion of regulatory oversight, and open questions about various financial transfers and the custody and control of Customer Assets.”
The motion was accompanied by a proposed order, ready for the judge’s signature.
Assets belonging to U.S. customers are proposed to be transferred back to Binance.US within 10 days, and the defendants must transfer all customer crypto assets to new wallets with new private keys, which will be in the possession of BAM Trading officers and employees located in the United States. Customer assets would still be redeemable, although transfers over $100,000 will require special handling.

Under the order, the defendants would also be required to provide the SEC with a list of customer fiat and crypto assets and a list of Binance.US customers, along with their balances.

This move follows the previous day’s suit filed by the SEC against Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, for securities law violations. Many of the allegations against Binance had appeared in the press days earlier and had been dismissed by the exchange as a “conspiracy theory.”
