<\/p>\nObservers should soon get a look at some of inaccessible documents in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s (SEC) case against Binance. The documents were sealed or redacted at the SEC\u2019s request with the agreement of both sides and are being unsealed at the request of the SEC itself.<\/p>\n
District of Columbia District Court Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui issued an order Sept. 15 granting the SEC\u2019s motion to unseal or remove the redaction from the documents. The order lists 18 sealed documents and another nine partially sealed or redacted documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Binance and \u201cany nonparty that claims a confidentiality designation regarding documents relating to the SEC\u2019s Motion to Compel\u201d will be able to argue against the unsealing for seven days, and the SEC will have seven days to respond to those claims.<\/p>\n
All of the sealed documents, filed as docket no. 102, were filed on Aug. 28. There was speculation at the time\u00a0that they were connected with a U.S. Justice Department investigation of Binance. The partially sealed documents total 117 pages. Among them are internal Binance.US documents, emails and SEC court filings, including the memorandum on Binace.US\u2019 compliance with SEC discovery efforts filed Sept. 14. <\/p>\n
