Charges include operating unregistered exchanges, broker-dealers, and clearing agencies; misrepresenting trading controls and oversight on the Binance.US platform; and the unregistered offer and sale of securities.

The filing comes a day after the SEC sued Binance.

Documents filed by the SEC on Wednesday indicate that attorneys from Gibson Dunn and Latham & Watkins allege that Gensler offered to serve as an advisor to the crypto exchange in several March 2019 conversations with Binance executives and Zhao.

It's become a major refrain among several U.S. tech leaders that the U.S. can't let China win in artificial intelligence. And so it is pretty interesting that leading venture firms funded by U.S. endowments and other institutional investors are putting money into the most promising young AI ...

This needs to be illegal.
