It was reported at the time he pled guilty:

"The action against Binance and its founder was a joint effort by the Department of Justice, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Treasury Department. The Securities and Exchange Commission was notably absent.

"Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a release Tuesday that the exchange allowed illicit actors to make more than 100,000 transactions that supported activities such as terrorism and illegal narcotics and that it allowed more than 1.5 million virtual currency trades that violated U.S. sanctions.

"It also allowed transactions associated with terrorist groups such as Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, al-Qaida and ISIS, Yellen said in the release, noting Binance 'never filed a single suspicious activity report.' " [I'm in the securities industry, and we have to file reports on any unusual cash movements. There are very clearcut protocols, for which we have to be recertified every six months.]

Santos was just a fringe wackjob. This guy has blood on his hands. He wasn't the victim of a "war on cryptocurrency." It was a war on terror finance.

Trump is more hones than most presidents. They wait until the last second to pardon people.

Binance was also found to have accepted transactions with websites trafficking in child pornogtaphy and then failed to report them.
