Re: Largest crypto exchange CEO arrested! Anyone getting deja vu?
True binance.com hasn't served US customers for like 4 or 5 years now. But I've always heard if you just have a VPN you can get around that. Always sounded like Binance was following the letter of the law but didn't mind if US citizens found a way to get around that restriction. So I'm guessing the US govt is gonna make Binance take additional information or something from people to prove their identity so just using a VPN or something won't work. Thus kicking all US citizens off for good.
that's a good theory. there must be some reason people wanted to use binance.COM rather than binance.US (legally). it's because .US sucked i guess. limited offerings. no staking maybe? i'm not sure. but i know they sucked. i think the customer service probably was bad too. although i never tried emailing them or whatnot. but AFAI am concerned if i can't call them on the phone then they suck.

I'm not clear on why exactly binance.com can't operate in the US. Is something they do like totally against US finance rules?
they probably could but they would have to disable certain features on the platform for US customers like staking maybe? i guess they thought it was simpler to just make a stupid little website for Americans...
