Former SEC Official Raises Concerns About Binance Leadership Departures
A former SEC official, John Reed Stark, has expressed his doubts about the recent exodus of senior executives from Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange. According to Stark, the departure of these executives could potentially provide an opportunity for law enforcement and other parties to gain access to internal information about Binance, considering that the exchange is already under investigation by authorities.
Stark Believes Binance Employees Could Assist in Investigations
Stark speculates that the former employees of Binance may cooperate with law enforcement investigations and reveal confidential details about the exchange. It is common for law enforcement agencies to approach former senior employees of a company for information. Stark suggests that these employees may be feeling disgruntled or terrified due to the ongoing legal proceedings and investigations.
Potential Assistance from Former Employees
It remains to be seen whether the SEC or DOJ will seek assistance from these former Binance employees. Media outlets have attempted to reach out to them, but they either declined to comment or denied feeling disgruntled or terrified. Binance has clarified that they regularly review their employees and make necessary changes.
In the span of just 10 days, Binance witnessed the resignations of key figures such as Leon Foong, Mayur Kamat, Gleb Kostarev, and Vladimir Smerkis.
