Don't know details of Binance, Tether or others. But at this point, it would be prudent to pull all except your in-play trading chips off the table into self-custody no matter what exchange you are using, until this whole kerfluffle is sorted out.

I wonder how crypto exchanges can guarantee non-hypothecation of customer funds in a DeFi trustless manner. The methods I've heard about still are tradfi-style centralized mechanisms that can still be subverted, and do not leverage crypto currency's strengths, though I'd sure like to be pointed to any exchange that has really figured this aspect out.

What did Binance do wrong again? I don’t consider having faulty blockchain analysis software at a time (2018) when most blockchain analysis software wasn’t very good a crime. And the Iranians they supposedly aided all used VPNs and hid the fact that they were Iranian. I think the best the government will get out of Binance is a DPA but that’s just me.

Don't we all love some bank runs and stupid bagholders losing all their money? Specially if they had some magic beans we dislike. It's good for fiat. /s

Better yet arrest everyone who had ever run crypto business of any kind. Release these who can prove innocent...
