 <p class="is-style-lead">On Sept. 19, Decrypt, a media outlet, shared a report about Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao, mysterious money movements.</p> 
 <p>According to the Decrypt report, unsealed documents revealed that Zhao extended a loan of $250 million to BAM Management U.S. Holdings. Subsequently, court documents indicate that $183 million of this loan was subsequently transferred to BAM Trading through the involvement of Paxos, a New York-based issuer of Binance USD.</p> 
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="allegedly-wrong-information">Allegedly wrong information</h2> 
 <p>Zhao has since taken to X to refute the allegation that accused him of obtaining a substantial $250 million loan from BAM Management, an entity that serves as the holding company for Binance.US.</p>

 <p>However, in the social <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="media" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/media.html">media</a> update, Zhao posted a screenshot of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="report" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/report.html">report</a> and asserted that the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="media" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/media.html">media</a> outlet “got the direction wrong.” As per Binance’s CEO, the financial transaction occurred in the opposite direction. </p> 
 <p>In the statement provided in the same post, he clarified that he had extended a $250 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> loan to BAM Management, emphasizing that he had not yet reclaimed the funds.</p>

 <p>Additionally, the Binance chief executive insinuated that the report contained a substantial amount of “inaccurate information.” Nonetheless, Zhao refrained from providing specific details regarding the precise inaccuracies found within the report.</p> 
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="another-account-of-wrong-information">Another account of “wrong information”</h2> 
 <p>This development comes on the heels of a Sept. 19 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="report" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/report.html">report</a> concerning a legal battle between the&nbsp;U.S. SEC and Binance.US, which is operated by BAM. The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="dispute" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dispute.html">dispute</a> centers around the management and safeguarding of customer assets, with both parties slated for a pivotal court hearing scheduled for Oct. 12.</p>

 <p>At the core of this conflict lies an entity referred to as “Ceffu,” which the SEC contends is a “newly rebranded Binance Entity” intricately involved in the custody of customer assets. However, Zhao denied these allegations, asserting, “Such claims are baseless.”&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>In the last two days, it appears the CEO has his hands full with alleged wrong information.</p>
