I have no expertise on the subject or those particular accusations, but generally speaking I feel that a company's response to bad PR is probably not the most trustworthy and objective account of what has happened given their direct involvement in the matter. It seems as a given that they would want to refute it.
Meanwhile, that's the size of the fines HSBC is paying for laundering.
Binance needs to be held accountable, but let's not pretend this is an outrageous number.

This is such an unbelievably bad take. HSBC was fined $1.9b for facilitating $880m of laundering.
Binance is accused of facilitating 3x this amount, which would be equivalent to a nearly $6b fine basis the HSBC settlement.
