Binance's legal woes

The crypto trading company is in the news currently after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against the firm and its founder & CEO Changpeng Zhao.

The SEC alleged Binance broke U.S. law by operating as an unregistered securities exchange and misled investors about its market surveillance controls. SEC in its June 5 court filing said the firm operated a "web of deception" that included artificially inflating its trading volumes and commingling customer funds.
