"I don't know any details or who but just reading the article it's self contradicting 👇. One could also make a narrative "maybe they were fired because they didn't prevent it" IF it were even true. It would also mean the 3rd party tools (the same used by law enforcement) didn't catch it either I don't run Binance anymore but as an ex-ceo I know they run EVERY transaction through multiple 3rd party AML tools. You can put a negative narrative on anything by talking to "anonymous source" who is "unhappy" or paid to FUD. NEW: BINANCE FIRES TOP INVESTIGATORS WHO CLAIM TO HAVE UNCOVERED EVIDENCE OF"
