money laundring in the past? absolutely. but Now? a little hard but not impossible.
they went full KYC mode and restricted a lot of their products for certain nationalities, so it's not as easy now, to just open an account with verified Email and trade however you like.
So reuters are not necessarily wrong here (minus the over dramatization of their "investigation"), because binance was VERY permissive/lenient before the global crackdown on them.
a good read for sure, but take everything you read with a grain of salt, it's reuters we are talking about.
