💰🥳Binance filed a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal in New York over a February article claiming the exchange dismantled an internal probe and fired staff who flagged $1.7B in crypto flows tied to Iran. 🥺 Binance says the investigation continued, accounts were offboarded, findings were reported to law enforcement, and only $24M -not $1.7B - reached wallets linked to the IRGC. The same day, WSJ published a second story: the DOJ has opened an inquiry into Iran's use of Binance to evade sanctions. BNB dropped, Senator Blumenthal called Binance's response "evasive." This isn't just a dispute - it's a precedent that will show whether media can drive regulatory pressure on the crypto industry with a single headline.
