    <p>Tzahal, the Israeli Defense Force, sanctioned several Binance accounts and wallets on Tron’s blockchain. Israelis allege they belong to Palestinian Islamic Jihadists.</p>
    <p>An analysis by ChainArgos shows that those Tron wallets received 93.7 million Tether (USDT), much of which came from Audax Trading, a crypto scam.</p>
    <p>Although the owner(s) of these wallets — allegedly Islamic <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="jihadists" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/jihadists.html">jihadists</a>, according to Tzahal, and widely assumed on social media to overlap with Hamas members — have subsequently withdrawn all funds from them, the connections are particularly salient given the recent onset of war between <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Israel" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/israel.html">Israel</a> and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Palestine" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/palestine.html">Palestine</a>.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Hamas recently fired thousands of rockets from Palestine into Israel and Israel responded with a declaration of war. Israeli forces are now conducting airstrikes on the Palestinian capital Gaza and Israel’s defense minister has <strong>ordered an evacuation of civilians from the city as Tzahal prepares a major military assault</strong>.</p>

    <p>According to the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>’s compliance team was aware of violations of anti-terrorism financing regulations, yet joked about <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>’s non-compliance. Specifically, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>’s chief compliance officer (CCO) explained to a colleague that terrorists like Hamas usually send “small sums” as “large sums constitute money laundering.” That colleague replied to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>’s CCO, “can barely buy an AK47 with 600 bucks.”</p>
    <p>Protos, along with other members of the crypto community, including Ben McKenzie, Travis Kling, DMT Capital, and Buhlaque, has covered Binance’s ties to Hamas.</p>

    <p>ChainArgos found evidence that <strong>much of the USDT funding the Tzahal-sanctioned wallets might have been stolen from Audax Trading victims</strong> or otherwise laundered through Audax Trading.</p>
    <p>At least 23,653 Tron blockchain wallets have sent funds to Tzahal-sanctioned wallets. Most of the $93.7 million worth of USDT appears to have come from addresses associated with the Audax Trading scam.</p>
    <p>New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority has warned that AudaxTrading.net is an “imposter site,” pointing out that it doesn’t have a financial services provider license or Allianz insurance, and that it has no affiliation to a legitimate business with a similar name.</p>
    <p>ChainArgos flagged one of these funding wallets as the <strong>81st most active BUSD wallet</strong>. An algorithm using metrics set by a ChainArgos employee labeled it “<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>Peg-BUSD #81 by txn count.”</p>
    <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Israel" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/israel.html">Israel</a>i authorities requested that any businesses that might have interacted with these Tzahal-sanctioned wallets contact the police and file a report.</p>
