Binance CEO Refutes $250M Loan Report, Says Money Flowed the Other Way

Portrait of Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, who tops the list of cryptocurrency billionaires in 2023.

Changpeng Zhao Responds to Misinformation

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao took to X, the popular microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter, to dispute a recent media report from Decrypt which alleged that he took a sizable $250-million loan from BAM Management US Holdings, the firm that oversees Binance.US.

Clarifying the Loan Details

According to the report published on September 19, BAM Management had “issued a $250 million convertible note to Zhao in December.” This information was purportedly sourced from court documents tied to an ongoing lawsuit between Binance and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

However, Zhao firmly rejected the claims in the Decrypt report, emphasizing that “they got the direction wrong.” Contrary to what was reported, Zhao stated that he was the one who lent $250 million to BAM Management, and not the other way around, and added that he hasn’t taken back the loan yet.

A Plethora of Inaccuracies

Not stopping at just refuting the main point of contention, Zhao pointed to numerous “wrong information” circulated through the report. The Binance chief, however, did not delve deeper to clarify the other supposed misinformation presented in the Decrypt article.

Legal Tussles with the SEC

The controversy comes amid a heated legal battle between Binance and the SEC. The US regulator has expressed difficulties in obtaining information from Binance and its US counterpart since the inception of the lawsuit.

To mitigate this, the SEC has moved to compel Binance to make its executives more readily available for depositions and to release more detailed data. In response to this, during a recent court hearing discussing the SEC’s plea, the presiding judge stated that he wasn’t “inclined to allow the inspection” at the present time.

In the Midst of Controversy

As Binance navigates the complex legal landscape, with its CEO at the forefront refuting substantial media claims, industry onlookers are keenly observing how the situation unfolds. The truth behind the $250 million loan remains a significant point of interest in this high-stakes legal battle, a testament to the turbulent relationship between regulatory bodies and major players in the crypto industry.

With the details surrounding the loan still under dispute, it remains to be seen how this will affect Binance’s legal standing in the ongoing lawsuit. As always, the truth will hopefully prevail, shedding light on the real dynamics of the loan and potentially easing the strained relations between Binance and the regulatory body.
