Binance has filed a lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a February 23 report alleging the exchange stopped investigating $1.7 billion in crypto flows linked to Iran-connected networks after Donald Trump pardoned founder Changpeng Zhao. Binance strongly denies the claims, saying it continued the probe, removed related accounts, and shared corrections before publication. The company, previously fined $4.3 billion in 2023, is seeking a jury trial, calling the article misleading and damaging.
