Compliance into the Weeds: Truth Stranger the Fiction: Binance, Iran, Crypto and Compliance

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly look at recent reporting on Binance that raises questions about the effectiveness of its compliance program, monitorships, and executive attitudes toward compliance.

They recap Binance’s 2023 resolution of U.S. criminal and civil matters involving money laundering and sanctions evasion. They discuss the Fortune article, which reported that Binance continued to route funds through its platform to the Iranian government in 2024 and into 2025. They highlight Mr. Zou’s public response on X, suggesting that if investigators found misconduct, it implied they failed to prevent it, which the hosts criticize as a misunderstanding that business units own risk and that compliance’s role is to provide systems, channels, oversight, and escalation rather than “prevent” all misconduct.

Key highlights:

  • Truth Stranger Than Fiction in Compliance
  • Binance’s 2023 Guilty Plea, $4.3B Penalty & Two Monitorships
  • Compliance Team Fallout: Investigators Fired & CCO on the Move
  • ‘If You Found It, You Failed’: Why CEOs Misunderstand Compliance
  • Iran as the Red Line: Plea Agreement Breach, Politics, and Corruption Risk
  • Will Anyone Enforce This? Rule of Law Questions and What Comes Next
