Users in China and other countries are being assisted by staff of Binance as well as trained &#34;volunteers&#34; in order to circumvent the Know Your Customer (KYC) rules that are enforced by Binance, as stated in a report that was published on Wednesday by CNBC. The report included excerpts written in Chinese from conversations that took place in a Telegram group and Discord server that were both administered by Binance.According to the study, the members of the chat group who are called to as &#34;Angels&#34; communicate information regarding methods that users can use to get over controls and obtain a Binance debit card. These people share this knowledge with one another. Among these techniques are the fabrication of addresses and bank papers as well as the concealment of the user&#39;s place of origin.China made the decision to ban bitcoin exchanges in 2017, then in 2018, the country made the decision to ban cryptocurrencies in their entirety.According to a statement provided to CNBC by a representative of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, &#34;Binance staff are strictly prohibited from promoting or assisting customers in avoiding their local laws and regulatory standards.&#34; If it could be demonstrated that Binance workers had violated such policies, then those employees would be quickly fired or subject to an audit.
