Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has publicly refuted reports alleging the involvement of Binance in Iranian fund flows and the dismissal of several compliance staff. CZ highlighted contradictions within the reports and emphasized that Binance employs multiple third-party AML systems to scrutinize every transaction. He also noted that the negative narratives are primarily based on anonymous sources, which may be influenced by personal grievances or external FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).
