FollowingU.S. federal prosecutors are investigating whether Binance violated sanctions against Iran by failing to block certain transactions on its platform, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. The Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office is handling the investigation, which also involves the U.S. Department of Justice's criminal division in Washington, and authorities are scrutinizing whether the exchange knowingly allowed the trades.

Details and historical background of investigation
Details of the transactions under review are unclear at this time, and the Justice Department investigation may end without charges. Spokesmen for the Justice Department and the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment.
Binance said in a statement: "We have a zero-tolerance policy for sanctions violations," adding that it cooperated with law enforcement agencies.
Previously, the exchange pleaded guilty to failing to comply with U.S. banking and sanctions laws, paid a $4.3 billion fine, and accepted the supervision of two corporate regulators. Co-founder Zhao Changpeng resigned as CEO, serving a four-month sentence and was pardoned last year by former President Donald Trump.
Internal investigation disputes and responses from all parties
《财富》杂志2月13日报道称，内部调查发现超过10亿美元的资金通过平台流向与伊朗相关的实体，随后相关内部调查人员被解雇。《华尔街日报》于2月23日报道了这一解雇事件，《纽约时报》同日报道称汇往伊朗实体的金额为17亿美元。次日，参议员理查德·布鲁梅塔尔启动初步调查，要求提供关于两个实体——Hexa Whale和Blessed Trust的记录。
币安在3月10日发布的一篇帖子中驳斥了这一说法，称资金既未在其平台上产生，也未在其平台上终止；最多仅有1.261亿美元经过多次中转后到达与伊朗相关的钱包地址，其中最多2410万美元到达与伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）相关的钱包。币安表示，只有在开始调查后才出现伊朗关联线索，且没有员工因提升合规关注而被解雇。此外，币安向布鲁梅塔尔表示其合规流程有效，并已就相关报道起诉《华尔街日报》。
最新进展与制裁动态
布鲁梅塔尔询问的两个实体上周再次浮出水面。当时，曼哈顿检察官寻求没收6100万美元，称这笔钱来自伊朗黑市石油销售，并通过币安进行洗钱。检察官表示，两家在香港注册的公司歪曲了其商业活动。在该行动中，币安未被指控有任何不当行为。
In August, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) gave itself the power to designate foreign individuals operating anywhere in the Iranian digital asset sector, one of five departmental determinations issued under the Treasury Department called "Operation Economic Exile." On September 10, Washington sanctioned a list of companies and individuals allegedly financing Hezbollah and other Iranian agents.
