Former FBI Agent Joins Binance.US As Head Of Investigations
Binance.US has recruited a new chief investigator from the FBI’s cybercrime unit.
BJ Kang departs the FBI for the cryptocurrency exchange after working for the federal investigative agency for two decades, most recently on the Washington field office’s cybercrime unit.
Kang was an FBI supervisory special agent with the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force Financial Pursuit Team, where he worked on Bitcoin-related investigations alongside colleagues from the IRS, U.S. Secret Service, and FinCEN, according to the company’s release.
CEO Brian Shroder said in a statement:
“Binance.US operates with a compliance-first mindset, and over the past year we have made significant investments in our legal, regulatory, and compliance operations.”
Kang lauded Binance.US’s existing collaboration with law enforcement, emphasizing the importance of tight cooperation.
The worldwide Binance brand has been under intense scrutiny from both law enforcement and regulators. Shroder’s predecessor left Binance.US last year after apparently feuding with global CEO Changpeng Zhao over control of the US branch.
