**Binance: Employee Suspended Over Token Issuance Abuse** December 8 – Binance said in a social media post Wednesday that its probe into a suspected employee token issuance incident found the employee in question was tied to a token that launched on-chain at 05:29 UTC on December 7.

Binance has proactively reached out to and will fully cooperate with relevant law enforcement agencies in the employee’s jurisdiction to take appropriate legal steps in line with applicable laws.
