Majalya had joined the company in December 2021 after previously working as Intel&rsquo;s chief compliance officer.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/binance-us-cuts-a-third-of-staff-ceo-departs-as-regulatory-storm-shrinks-revenues\">exodus of staff<\/a> globally from Binance has gathered pace in the past fortnight.

Fortune earlier reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/crypto\/2023\/07\/06\/binance-crisis-executives-quit-changpeng-zhao-justice-department\/\">staff departures<\/a> were sparked in part by disquiet within the company about the way CEO Changpeng Zhao has handled the investigation into the exchange by the US Department of Justice.<\/p>\n<p>Zhao has hit back at reports about staff departures, rumours about plans for market withdrawals and some product closures, dismissing &rdquo;negative&rdquo; reports as &rdquo;FUD.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The company has also dismissed parallels between itself and bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, stating that all its assets are &ldquo;backed one-to-one&rdquo; and providing assurances that it has no liquidity issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite the lawsuits, heightened regulatory scrutiny and challenges in some regions, Binance remains financially stable and is not comparable to the now-bankrupt FTX, head of regional markets Richard Teng <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/binance-executive-denies-ftx-comparisonss\">told CoinTelegraph in an interview<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;&ldquo;There were different rumours and FUD after FTX,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;People tried to associate us, which is totally untrue.
