A report notes that federal prosecutors are reportedly investigating U.S.-based hedge funds that have dealt with the crypto exchange Binance.
from The Washington Post claims American hedge funds are being investigated as part of the probe. The Washington Post contributor Douglas MacMillan details that subpoenas were issued to the hedge funds and they came from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Western District of Washington.
MacMillan cites two sources who “reviewed one of the subpoenas and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the confidential matter.” The reporter further adds that the subpoenas don’t mean investigators will make any charges. “Prosecutors are still discussing a possible settlement with Binance and weighing whether they have enough evidence to bring indictments against the company,” MacMillan wrote.
over the last two months since FTX collapsed. MacMillan talked to Binance Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann, who said that the exchange was talking with “virtually every regulator across the globe on a daily basis.” Hillmann, however, and a DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on the alleged investigation.
