Binance disregarded financial rules
Binance and its CEO pled guilty to disregarding financial rules,
such that money was sent to Iran and Syria, to ransomeware, and various
other criminals.
However, the large fine will not necessarily make this change.
At the very least, Binance (and each of its divisions even if sold to
some other company) should be required to have an independent
compliance monitor forever, and these monitors should be paid directly
by the federal government (not by Binance) using money that Binance
will pay each year as a fine. That will make it hard for Binance to
exert improper influence over them.
