🌐 Binance, the largest shareholder of the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange GOPAX, sold the asset claims of GOPAX victims for less than half their face value. 🔘 Initially, Binance had promised 100% compensation for the losses (70bn KRW) incurred by the suspension of GOPAX's GOFi service. 🔘 Instead, Binance acquired Gopax shares at a significantly discounted price and became their largest shareholder. 🔘 However, it has been revealed that Binance did not compensate the victims with its own funds but by selling the victims' asset claims at a low price. This move was essentially a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" strategy. 🔘 After Binance sold the victims' asset claims, the prices of crypto assets soared, increasing the amount of damages. 🔘 GOFI’s debt is estimated to amount to approximately 100bn KRW as of today, excluding existing repayments. #rcz #crypto #binance #market #funds #assets
