Binance Denies Sharing Users Data with Russian Intelligence Agencies

Binance exchange has responded to allegations by Reuters that its Russian subsidiary has close ties to the countrys financial regulator called Rosfinmonitoring.  In the Reuters report, it was alleged that Binance shared its user data with Rosfinmonitoring in a bid to track down donations made to the opposition leader, Alexei Navalny.  Binance categorically called the Reuters report a “false narrative” and provided a context in which its relationship with Rosfin was no different from those it had with other regulators in other countries.   Binance said the allegations that it shares users data with the law enforcement agencies are misconstrued and that as a business operating in Russia, it is obligated to respond to any request from a regulator requiring it to provide any information regarding its operations, provided it is within the confines of the law.  With Binance disagreeing with the Reuters publication, the exchange said it would be filing an official complaint based on the media platforms own editorial code.  “Reuters, one of the most esteemed and trusted news agencies, published this article that completely contradicts the reputation this outlet has built over the years and is not representative of our experience working with countless other journalists in their organisation, the exchange wrote.
