Binance has restricted the personal accounts of 281 Nigerians due to a need to comply with international money laundering laws, according to its CEO Changpeng Zhao.
In a letter to Nigerian customers dated Jan. 29, Changpeng noted that the decision to restrict some personal accounts was to ensure user safety. He added that over a third of the affected accounts were restricted at the request of international law enforcement
Changpeng noted that Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has resolved 79 cases and continues to work through others, vowing to resolve all non-law enforcement-related cases within two weeks.
