Kevin O’Leary said the Securities and Exchange Commission levied some “serious” allegations in the 136-page charging document the agency issued against Binance on June 5, telling Cointelegraph in an interview that he believes founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao is in a “tough” spot.
O’Leary, a venture capitalist and CNBC personality known more colorfully as “Mr. Wonderful,” was an investor in crypto exchange FTX prior to its November collapse, and has been open about losing $15 million from his gig as a paid spokesman for the company.
