Apparently a Bitcoin exchange whose compliance strategy is Bond Villains Don’t Need A Compliance Strategy is saying they were not raided by the police but probably not in the same sense that you were not raided by the police.

The Block's reporting on this: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/47922/binances-shanghai-office-shut-down-following-police-raid-sources-say … I feel like on the one hand substantial subjectivity with respect to parsing of "office" available in a distributed workforce and on the other hand betting "I have had a lot of offices less office-like than that office."

Binance execs have previously gone on the record saying they don't want to tell people where their offices are so they don't get shutdown. there were some early 2018 articles praising CZ for the move to Malta nut we all know why that island was really chosen. as well as Bermuda.

Yeah, my estimate of likelihood of them being candid here is also informed by their responses to the FSA on whether they were doing business in Japan, which were of the general flavor "Well that depends what you mean by 'doing business'."

Which responses caused the Financial Services Agency to use the customary indirect suasion of Japanese regulators and, hah no that didn't happen, instead they ordered the immediate halt of services to Japan residents on the pain of criminal prosecution.
