Following the recent lawsuit against the crypto exchange Binance, renowned crypto critic Jim Cramer seized the opportunity to lambaste Binance after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a series of charges against the company.
Cramer took to Twitter to express his scathing views, suggesting that the SEC’s findings were so damning that even the staunchest defenders of Binance would be forced to engage in deep introspection.
Furthermore, Cramer predicted that those who tirelessly prop up crypto coins would have to work relentlessly to maintain what he perceived as a sham. He emphasized the extent of the damage caused by the SEC’s investigation into Binance, calling it devastating for the company and its supporters.
On June 5, 2023, the regulator levied a series of charges against Binance Holdings Ltd., its U.S.-based affiliate BAM Trading Services Inc., and founder Changpeng Zhao. The news sent shockwaves through the crypto community, prompting a flurry of reactions from critics and supporters.
The charges included accusations of securities law violations, deceptive practices, conflicts of interest, lack of disclosure, and deliberate attempts to evade legal obligations. According to the regulatory body, Binance and its CEO were involved in a calculated web of deception, undermining the trust and integrity of the platform.
In a statement, the exchange expressed disappointment in the SEC’s decision to file a complaint, especially considering its active cooperation with the investigations and attempts to reach a negotiated settlement.
Binance criticized the SEC for choosing to litigate instead of engaging in productive discussions and accused the Commission of lacking clarity and guidance for the digital asset industry. The exchange vowed to defend its platform against the SEC’s allegations vigorously.
