Teng additionally presented a document demonstrating that Israeli officials instructed <a href="https://optimisus.com/market/market-news/binance-urges-the-u-s-to-intervene-and-secure-the-release-of-executive-in-nigeria/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance&#39;s activities</a> under anti-terrorism legislation.Teng specified that only a limited number of accounts associated with illicit activity were restricted and highlighted that Binance adheres to international legislation against money laundering. He articulated a longing for tranquility in the area.Although Teng has attempted to provide reassurances, distrust continues to exist among crypto community members. Some users remain concerned that Binance may selectively target users in different countries and doubt the impartiality of the criteria employed to identify blocked accounts.
