In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Binance has suspended an employee for the age-old sin of insider trading. The investigation, sparked by a complaint, revealed a tale of greed, tokens, and the kind of audacity that would make even Gordon Gekko blush. 🕴️
According to the world’s largest crypto exchange, the employee, who once worked on the BNB Chain before joining the Binance Wallet team, decided to play the market like a fiddle. Using his insider knowledge, he anticipated a Token Generation Event (TGE) and, like a true opportunist, bought up a large volume of tokens before the public even knew what was happening. 🚀
Binance, in its usual understated manner, stated:
“Leveraging information from his former position as well as his familiarity with on-chain projects, the employee was aware the project was planning a Token Generation Event (TGE) and anticipated it would generate significant community interest. Prior to the project’s public token launch announcement, the staff member used multiple linked wallet addresses to purchase a large volume of the project’s tokens.
Following the announcement, the staff member quickly sold part of his holdings to realize significant profits, while the remaining tokens retained considerable unrealized gains. This behavior constitutes front-running based on non-public information obtained from his previous role and is a clear breach of company policy.”
The internal audit team, perhaps inspired by Sherlock Holmes, uncovered the employee’s shenanigans after a complaint on March 23rd. The employee was promptly suspended, and Binance is now considering further disciplinary action, including legal measures. Because nothing says “we’re serious” like a lawsuit. ⚖️
“We will proactively cooperate with the relevant authorities in the employee’s jurisdiction and take appropriate legal action in accordance with applicable laws.”
In a twist that feels straight out of a heist movie, Binance is rewarding the four whistleblowers who brought the incident to light. A cool $100,000 will be split among them, proving that sometimes, crime does pay—just not for the criminal. 🤑
“For those who submitted valid reports via Binance’s official whistleblowing channel (audit@binance.com), we have completed the verification and de-duplication process. As committed, a total reward of $100,000 will be equally distributed.”
