Binance Wallet claimed the employee knew about an upcoming TGE and purchased a large volume of tokens before the public announcement, later selling them for significant profit. The employee was immediately suspended and is under further disciplinary review.

 

$100K Reward

While the staff member’s identity was not disclosed, there were online speculations linking the incident to Freddie Ng, a former BNB Chain operations manager who recently joined Binance Wallet.

Binance also emphasized that rewards for whistleblowers would only be given to those who report through its official channels, offering a $100,000 reward to be distributed among four anonymous tipsters.
