Srivastava alleges that she was dismissed from her place at Binance a month after she advised her managers in regards to the bribery in April 2023. Nevertheless, in line with Binance’s lawyer, Srivastava was dismissed as a consequence of “poor performance.”

In a press release, the lawyer mentioned:

“The decision to end her employment for poor performance pre-dated concerns she raised about an issue that was already known and under investigation by our internal audit team.”

In accordance with Bloomberg, the colleague in query has since left the corporate. In a witness assertion, Srivastava mentioned that she “was not prepared to look the other way when someone had defrauded a customer and yet was still a part of the team.”

As a part of the DOJ settlement, Zhao resigned from his place. He later stepped down as Chair of the Board of Administrators.

Zhao was later sentenced to 4 months in jail, which he has since served.
