Colombians Take Legal Action Against Binance for Blocking Their Funds

An account blockade that happened more than five months ago due to money laundering issues has prompted some Colombian users of Binance to commence legal action against the exchange in the country. According to reports the funds blocked exceed $1 million, and after an investigation from the FIOD, the Netherlands’ anti-money laundering watchdog, the funds were linked to financial crimes.

Binance Account Blockage Prompts Legal Action in Colombia

Binance is facing legal issues in Colombia ຫຼັງ​ຈາກ​ໄດ້​ສະກັດ​ກັ້ນ​ບັນຊີ​ຂອງ​ພົນລະ​ເມືອງ​ກຸ່ມ​ໜຶ່ງ​ທີ່​ມີ​ການ​ເຄື່ອນ​ໄຫວ​ທີ່​ຖືກ​ກ່າວ​ຫາ​ກ່ຽວ​ຂ້ອງ​ກັບ​ການ​ສືບສວນ​ການ​ຟອກ​ເງິນ​ຈາກ FIOD, ອົງການ​ກວດກາ​ການ​ເງິນ ​ແລະ ການ​ສືບສວນ​ຂອງ​ເນ​ເທີ​ແລນ. ອີງ​ຕາມ ບົດລາຍງານ, ມູນຄ່າຂອງ cryptocurrency ທີ່ຖືກສະກັດຢູ່ໃນບັນຊີເຫຼົ່ານີ້ມີຫຼາຍກ່ວາ $ 1 ລ້ານ, ໂດຍຜູ້ໃຊ້ບໍ່ສາມາດຍ້າຍກອງທຶນໄດ້ນັບຕັ້ງແຕ່ຫ້າເດືອນກ່ອນຫນ້ານີ້.

ຜູ້​ໃຊ້​ບາງ​ຄົນ​ໄດ້​ສັງ​ເກດ​ວ່າ​ເຂົາ​ເຈົ້າ​ໄດ້​ຕົກ​ເປັນ​ເຫຍື່ອ​ຂອງ​ການ​ຍຶດ​ເງິນ​ທຶນ, ເຊັ່ນ Jairo Velez, ຜູ້​ທີ່​ໄດ້​ກ່າວ​ວ່າ:

I have been blocked since September 29, 2021. I already have five months without access to my funds. In my wallet they stole what I had and, according to Binance officials, the funds are held by the Dutch FIOD.

Jairo ແມ່ນຫນຶ່ງໃນບັນດາຜູ້ໃຊ້ທີ່ໄດ້ເລີ່ມດໍາເນີນການທາງກົດຫມາຍຕໍ່ເວທີດັ່ງກ່າວ, ໂດຍທະນາຍຄວາມຂອງລາວຮຽກຮ້ອງໃຫ້ປ່ອຍເງິນທຶນ. ອີງຕາມຄໍາຖະແຫຼງຂອງລາວ, ຂໍ້ກໍານົດເຫຼົ່ານີ້ຖືກສົ່ງໄປຫາຫ້ອງການປະຕິບັດຕາມຂອງການແລກປ່ຽນ, ແລະຍັງບໍ່ທັນໄດ້ຮັບຄໍາຕອບ.

ຊາວ​ໂກ​ລົມ​ບີ​ຄົນ​ອື່ນໆ​ກໍ​ໄດ້​ຮັບ​ຜົນ​ກະທົບ​ເຊັ່ນ​ກັນ

But Velez was not the only one affected by the measures taken by Binance. Andrea Torrente, another Colombian user, suffered the same fate, with her funds being held in the same way. Binance informed Torrente that her funds were being held as the result of an investigation by Dutch authorities, with the support of a Dutch prosecutor.

Torrente has also started to take legal action against the exchange, notifying the local representative of Binance in Colombia without receiving any answer yet. Users are complaining about the lack of response from the exchange, with Torrente stating:

You ask them to give you the freezing order issued by the FIOD and they tell you to write to an email from the Dutch police. Almost six months ago we received the same response from Binance. They close our chats. They basically wash their hands.

ບໍ່ມີຈໍານວນລູກຄ້າຢ່າງເປັນທາງການທີ່ໄດ້ຮັບຜົນກະທົບຈາກມາດຕະການນີ້, ແຕ່ບາງຄົນໄດ້ສ້າງກຸ່ມ Telegram ເພື່ອສ້າງຈິດສໍານຶກກ່ຽວກັບບັນຫາແລະປະສານງານການປະຕິບັດຕໍ່ການແລກປ່ຽນ.
