After the former FBI agent, Charles McGonigal, another "friend" of Prime Minister Edi Rama has fallen into the net of the Americans. This time it is about the Chinese-Canadian Changpeng Zhao, president of the company "Binance".
US regulators sued Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao after it is accused of creating a "web of fraud", putting pressure on the world's cryptocurrency exchange and sending bitcoin to its lowest level in almost three months.
The lawsuit alleges that Zhao, the billionaire founder of Binance, secretly controlled client assets by commingling and diverting investor funds at will.
Rama met Zhao on November 26 last year.
Next to the photo with Rama, he wrote: "I met this beautiful Saturday with the Prime Minister of Albania, Mr. Edi Rama. Pushing crypto adoption never stops.”
According to Reuters, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) complaint, filed in a federal court in Washington, DC, listed 13 allegations against Binance, Zhao and its exchange operator. The SEC alleges that Binance artificially inflated its trading volumes, diverted customer funds, also failed to restrict US customers from its platform and misled investors about its market surveillance controls.
The SEC also alleged that Binance and Zhao, its billionaire founder and one of the crypto industry's highest-profile tycoons, secretly controlled client assets, allowing them to commingle and divert investor funds "at will theirs".
