In a recent investigative <a href="https://unlimitedhangout.com/2023/11/investigative-reports/binances-noah-perlman-ties-to-ftx-epstein-and-gemini-earn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">report </a>by the media outlet Unlimited Hangout, serious allegations were made against Noah Perlman, the chief compliance officer of Binance.&nbsp; 
The report highlights Perlman’s alleged ties to the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana/solana-flying-bulls-post-ftx-collapse-losses-reversed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">collapse of FTX</a>, the troubled Gemini exchange owned by the Winklevoss twins, and even convicted and deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. 
If the allegations made by the media outlet prove true, and Perlman is investigated by US authorities, Binance could find itself embroiled in another executive scandal following the departure of <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/bnb/bnb-plummets-10-amid-binances-4-3-billion-settlement-and-ceos-impending-resignation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">former CEO Changpeng Zhao</a> (CZ). 
<h2 id="associations-with-epstein-and-alleged-fraud">Associations With Epstein And Alleged Fraud&nbsp;</h2> 
Unlimited Hangout alleges that Perlman’s father, Itzhak Perlman, a renowned violinist, had flown on multiple occasions on a plane owned by Jeffrey Epstein. Itzhak Perlman also reportedly accompanied Epstein to Michigan’s Interlochen Center for the Arts, where Epstein later built a lodge for him, which was later described as a “lair to target girls.”&nbsp; 
While Noah Perlman served as a federal prosecutor for the Department of Justice’s Special Coordinator for Crimes against Children, these family connections to Epstein raise questions about his associations. 
After leaving the Department of Justice, Perlman joined <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/dcg-and-gemini-ink-a-plan-users-to-receive-all-their-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Gemini</a>, the cryptocurrency exchange owned by the Winklevoss Twins, as the chief compliance officer. Although Perlman had left Gemini months before the New York Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the exchange, he had been allegedly “heavily involved” in Gemini’s Earn program, which became the focus of the alleged $1.1 billion fraud.&nbsp; 
As <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/gemini-files-court-statement-accusing-digital-currency-group-of-fraudulent-actions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">reported </a>by NewsBTC, the lawsuit alleges that certain individuals knew that the program’s partner, Genesis, was financially unstable and withdrew their funds before its collapse. 
Per the report, Perlman held the position of chief operating officer at the time, raising suspicions about his role in the alleged misconduct.

Perlman’s involvement with Farmington State Bank, later renamed Moonstone, adds another layer of complexity to the alleged wrongdoing cited by Unlimited Hangout. 
According to the report, in 2019, Perlman was listed as a director of FBH Corp., the entity that took over the rural bank. Moonstone Bank later garnered attention when <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/alameda-research-accused-of-bribing-chinese-officials-to-recover-1-billion-in-exchange-accounts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Alameda Research</a>, linked to FTX, acquired an $11.5 million stake.&nbsp; 
<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/ftx/sam-bankman-fried-allegedly-used-customer-funds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Sam Bankman-Fried</a>, the former chief of FTX, also reportedly invested $50 million in the bank. However, Moonstone Bank faced regulatory challenges, with the Federal Reserve initiating an enforcement action against it shortly before the Bank of Eastern Oregon acquired its deposits and assets. 
Overall, Perlman is at the center of serious allegations concerning his alleged connections with Jeffrey Epstein, the failed Earn program at Gemini, and Moonstone Bank.&nbsp; 
However, it is important to note that these allegations have not been substantiated by any investigations or official connections made by US authorities or other global agencies.&nbsp; 
The claims and allegations put forth by media news outlets require further response from Binance’s executives and investigation by relevant authorities. 
There has been no official statement from Perlman regarding these allegations. It remains to be seen how the exchange and Perlman himself will address these claims and provide clarity on the matter.
