Binance Suspends Employee Amid Insider Trading Allegations

Binance, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has suspended an employee accused of profiting from insider information during a Token Generation Event (TGE). The alleged violation stems from the employee’s access to confidential data from their previous role at BNB Chain, the blockchain ecosystem behind Binance’s native token, BNB. They are suspected of using this confidential information to purchase tokens before the public announcement, engaging in front-running, a practice that exploits non-public information to make trades ahead of an event that will influence market conditions.
