Binance’s US arm turns to ex-FBI agent to head investigations team

Hiring of BJ Kang comes as federal agencies have launched probes into several crypto companies, including Binance.US

The US arm of Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has hired former FBI agent BJ Kang as its first head of investigations.

In his new role, Kang will work closely with law enforcement, regulators and other crypto companies, Binance.US said. The company said it will build Binance.US’s own “investigations infrastructure” to identify and mitigate crypto-related criminal activities on the platform.
