The KYC file Binance handed Moscow: how a $700 Ukraine donation became a terrorism case
Binance has been accused of handing over extensive personal data, including passport scans and home address, of a Russian user to Russian authorities. This information was allegedly used to build a terrorism financing case against Yuri Belenkiy for a $700 donation to Ukraine. The exchange claims to cooperate with lawful requests, but the disclosure occurred after its stated exit from the Russian market and raises significant data privacy concerns.
