The attorneys for FTX said on Monday that a court-supervised investigation into the company's collapse would be a waste of time and resources and could even be dangerous. At the hearing on Monday, FTX attorney James Bromley argued that the proposed review requested by the U.S. Department of Justice's bankruptcy watchdog is so nebulous that it essentially asks an examiner to look at "everything, everywhere, all at once." In order to look into charges of fraud, wrongdoing, and poor management that are "too critical to be entrusted to an internal probe," the U.S. Trustee has urged Dorsey to appoint an independent examiner. In significant bankruptcy cases when the DOJ or a creditor seeks one, such an investigation is required by federal law, according to Juliet Sarkessian, an attorney for the U.S. Trustee.
The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, said on Monday that it would stop accepting deposits and withdrawals in dollars. The business gave no explanation for the move. As of February 8th, "We are temporarily suspending USD bank transfers," a representative for Binance informed CNBC. Customers who are affected are being informed directly. In addition to stating that "we are working diligently to reinstate service as quickly as possible," the firm claimed that "0.01% of our monthly active users leverage USD bank transactions." The company's subsidiary Binance US, which is subject to regulation by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury Department, stated in a tweet that it is unaffected by the ban. Only non-U.S. clients who transfer money to or from bank accounts in dollars are affected by the change.
