Cryptocurrency trading platform Binance.US, an affiliate independent of its embattled parent company, announced Thursday the appointment of Lesley O’Neill as chief compliance officer.
O’Neill joins from digital identity verification platform Prove Identity, where she held the same role in addition to serving as interim general counsel. Prior to Prove, she worked at Big Four audit firm EY as global privacy counsel.
At Binance.US, she succeeds Tammy Weinrib, who resigned in November—the same month parent company Binance pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $4.3 billion in penalties for significant violations of U.S. anti-money laundering (AML) laws, sanctions, and other regulations.
