On September 28, six Binance clients who were blocked due to alleged ties to the sanctioned exchanger Suex, blocked due to alleged ties to the sanctioned exchanger Suex<\/a>, told ForkLog that the restrictions had been lifted from their accounts. The funds were not touched.<\/p>\n

Users noted that at the time of unblocking they had not received any further messages from exchange representatives.<\/p>\n

They have now moved the assets to secure wallets.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ForkLog’s editorial inbox received a new letter from a Binance client who was affected by the blockage.<\/p>\n

“I have margin positions of $200,000 open. Orders won’t close, assets are at risk. And they assure me that the funds are safe and there’s no need to worry,” the affected person said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He has $350,000 in his account.<\/p>\n

\n

“I write to support every day. They told me they need another 24-48 hours to verify the origin of funds. Meanwhile, the previous check with the data I provided had already begun on September 24 and was also promised to be completed in 24-48 hours,” the user added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Binance representatives told ForkLog that they are intensifying security measures across the ecosystem on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\n

“We cooperate with law enforcement around the world to curb illegal activity in the cryptocurrency industry. Periodic verifications are part of this policy,” they noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ForkLog will continue to follow the developments.<\/p>\n

As reported, on September 21 the Suex exchange site, its corporate entities, as well as 25 addresses in the Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether networks were added to the U.S. sanctions list.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Treasury says that through the platform funds of operators of at least eight ransomware programs, scam projects, darknet marketplaces and the now-closed BTC-e exchange were processed.<\/p>\n

The analytical company Chainalysis found that, among other things, Suex processed transactions of the WEX exchange worth several million dollars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assets tied to cybercriminals accounted for up to 40% of Suex’s turnover, analysts involved in the investigation calculated.<\/p>\n

Later, Binance reported the removal of several accounts linked to Suex addresses<\/a> in accordance with internal security measures.<\/p>\n
