DIKSIA.COM - CALIFORNIA, Binance U.S. once again carried out layoffs (PHK) for 1,000 employees from various departments this weekend
The layoffs were carried out by Binance amid a heated Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao over allegations of conducting illegal transactions.
Additionally, citing Reuters, Binance has also been accused of violating the U.S. Securities Acts of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934 by selling unlisted securities investments.
