Sealing docs in Binance case could suggest a criminal probe, says former SEC official By Cointelegraph

The legal team representing the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in its civil case against Binance is requesting the court grant a motion to allow documents filed under seal.

In an Aug. 28 filing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the SEC petitioned a federal judge for leave to file documents under seal in the commission’s case against Binance, Binance.US and Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao (CZ). The motion itself was under seal, leading to speculation that the SEC intended to make filings with sensitive information.
