That's a fair but, but is a drastically different story than what the headline implies.
"Internal messages indicate that Binance might have turned a blind eye to Iranians using VPNs (and later banned them)" is a much weaker claim than "Binance continued serving Iranians despite sanctions"
As I mentioned in a different comment, the headline might be technically true, and there's definitely a story, but the headline paints a drastically different picture than the article. Almost every line of "we found someone in Iran who had gotten in" is followed by "they got banned later"
- d23 4y agoAgree to disagree I guess. Reuters clearly believes the story is that there was widespread use in Iran for at least two years after the sanctions went into effect and that Binance was aware. Given that, this headline doesn't seem beyond the pale: > Binance served crypto traders in Iran despite U.S. sanctions
