Binance freezes $2M from alleged insider trader
According to Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the cryptocurrency exchange had frozen $2 million associated with an alleged insider trader’s crypto address.
In a Walk 28 Twitter string, FatMan Land said a mysterious individual front-ran a few Binance altcoin postings to book a seven-figure benefit. The crypto influencer explained how the trader’s “covert operations” were exposed, citing data from the chain.
Insider allegedly made $1.4M from inside trading
FatMan Terra cited a January report as evidence that there were 16 instances of possible insider trading on Binance in which the trader made a total profit of $1.4 million.
After funding a wallet named “0xd23” with $53,000, the insider bought Frax Share’s FXS on Uniswap over the course of six days in small batches. After Binance listed the FXS token three days after their last purchase, the trader would eventually sell all of their holdings for a profit.
In another instance, the trader acquired Virtua (TVK) for 131 Ethereum two days before it was listed on Binance. After the token’s value increased, the trader made 277 ETH from its sales.
Similar transactions in which the trader profited handsomely from various altcoin listings were mentioned in the report.
The trader’s trading pattern suggests that they have inside information about these Binance listings, despite the fact that their identity is unknown.

Binance response
CZ acknowledged FatMan Terra’s tweet, adding that the exchange had frozen the funds before his Twitter thread. CZ added:
“We are also always fighting potential leaks, etc. We welcome you to point them out in the future too. Helps all of us.”
FatMan Terra also pointed out that:
“Insider trading causes many profitable trades to become unprofitable (for example, an originally break even trade may result in a 10% loss due to exploitative insider activities), and the trader will never find out what happened to them.”
Meanwhile, Binance’s Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillman previously said the exchange has “an internal security team that monitors multiple platforms for possible employee trading activity, and it is a zero-tolerance policy.”
