> a Binance employee knew about a $600 transaction
Said employee being the then chief compliance officer.
Your broad point is correct: Binance is not being dinged by the CFTC for money laundering or terrorist financing. But the allegations they hung out are far from trivial. (The core charge is also nontrivial, but for technical reasons.)
If the core charge is that Binance allowed some of the most sophisticated firms in the world to trade on it derivatives exchange without oversight from US regulators, we're just going to have to agree to disagree about that being trivial.
