TRM Talks: Building Compliance at Binance – The World’s Largest Crypto Business with CCO Noah Perlman

In the wake of the largest settlement in the history of the United States – over $4 billion to settle violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, failing to register as a money transmitting business, and breaching US sanctions – Binance, the world’s largest crypto business, is working to build a best-in-class AML and sanctions compliance program under the oversight of independent monitors.

In this TRM Talks, Ari Redbord, TRM's Global Head of Policy is joined by Binance Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman to discuss that process, his journey from federal prosector to crypto, and the worsening situation for Binance financial crime lead Tigran Gambaryan who has been held in Nigeria for over 100 days.
