🔒 Binance Allegedly Mixed Customer and Company Funds 🔍

@binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, allegedly mixed customer and company funds between 2020 and 2021.

These questionable activities have raised concerns over internal controls. Image
@binance Reports suggest that @binance used @silvergatebank as a central fixture in its financial operations, combining customer funds with company revenues into a third Silvergate account.

This account was then converted into the Binance USD (#BUSD) token.
@binance @silvergatebank The situation becomes more complex as the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has charged Binance with "structuring" transactions to evade U.S. financial regulations.

🔎 ANÁLISE QUEBRADEIRA DOS BANCOS🔎

#svb #silvergate #signature #usdc

Eu enxergo DUAS GRANDES TESES do porque estamos testemunhando esses colapsos.

Aqui está o que cada uma delas SIGNIFICA PARA O FUTURO EM CRIPTO, e como você pode SE POSICIONAR.

Interessado? Segue a 🧵...
1) O assunto me chamou a atenção desde que fiz a primeira thread sobre o Silvergate no dia 03/mar, explicando as dificuldades que o banco enfrentava, e os possíveis impactos em cripto.

2) Desde então outros bancos passaram por stress e foram intervidos pelo FDIC (tipo o FGC dos EUA), como o Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) .

O medo da intervenção contagiou a Circle/USDC, levando até a um DEPEG momentâneo no preço de tela de USDC.

I’m don't post often on social media, but I can’t help but say something about the bank failures this week of #SVB and #Silvergate (yes I consider that a failure as well) and why regulators' focus on bank exposure to #Bitcoin and #Crypto misses the mark. A thread...
[1/10]
Others have discussed the risk management failures that led to these collapses, but what I think is worth pointing out is the incongruence of the federal and state banking regulators’ guidance and regulatory priorities.
[2/10]
It’s no secret that I am a former regulator. I also work for a #Bitcoin company. @unchainedcap take our responsibility to our clients seriously: never taking custody of our clients’ bitcoin, no rehypothecation, no lending client funds to others to chase yields.

It's always worth digging into the depths of a company's accounts. Here, from the September 2022 filing, is the solution to the mystery of #Silvergate's repayment of FHLB advances. FHLB advances in December 2022 totalled $4.3bn, far above Silvergate's maximum borrowing capacity.
Why did FHLB demand repayment of the entire borrowing, not just the overlimit amount? Couple of possible reasons. By Dec 2022, the value of Silvergate's asset base had reduced significantly due to fire sales and asset reclassification. And also, this is a covenant breach.
btw the FHLB appears to impose mammoth haircuts on collateral. Silvergate's reported FHLB borrowing as at 30 September 2022 was $700m.

@RevolutApp and @Swedbank, for money laundering and terrorist financing.

Guess who's at the top of the "Electronic money and payment institutions"? #Contis.

The #EOS situation is complicated but suffice it to say it is dodgy even by crypto standards. Bros cashed out $4bn selling a coin to retail in an ICO and then never delivered the product. Got fined only ~$24mm by #SEC... good take, right?

@EOS even admits it's a failure.

#Huobi seems to be melting down in real time, possibly along with His Excellency #JustinSun's fortune...

Shut down all intra-employee IMs etc, maybe fired a bunch of people. Employees now angry (or Sun is ruggin') @HuobiGlobal @justinsuntron
@HuobiGlobal @justinsuntron Apparently #JustinSun tried to dissolve the company (which would presumably leave all the employees unemployed).

Remember just yesterday it was reported that #JustinSun had tried to pay #Huobi employees in $USDT and/or $USDC... #Tether (h/t @crasl7 for non machine translation)
Random Twitter user sharing rumors that there are concerns this will spread to #TRON and its companies from Pulse (which @crasl7 looked into and called "Chinese language LinkedIn")

Community banks have long been targets by bad actors.
With limited resources and capabilities bad actors Trojan their way into the bank to launder their cash.
#communityone #ponzi #communitybank #fraud
with crypto the bad actors waltz in the front door under the guise of digital transformation.
So imagine the world of pain a little community bank will find itself in when its not just suspect accounts they may have inadvertently laundered.
But the great white knight of their local bank thats been part of the community for 100 years is the biggest fraud of them all.
