Binance continues to amaze.

Does anyone even know where it operates out of these days?

They said they’d announce it shortly in July (https://decrypt.co/105376/where-is-binance-hq-ceo-cz-says-co...). Since then, nothing

They got regulatory approval to operate in Dubai and have offices there, so maybe there (https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/09/20/binance-secures-l...)

There is a pool of capital that pays people working for them onchain. They can also do fiat via local subsidiaries, and local contracts for compliance and litigation.

It's almost like it doesn't matter.

For accountability, it barely matters. For financial products they offer, it also barely matters. Most jurisdictions are too small to say anything and all their customers can circumvent any geo-restriction. They have distinct subsidiaries in major markets like USA.

They have a lot of positions open at their Singapore and Hong Kong... offices?
