Binance Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann has announced his departure from the crypto exchange, following reports of other top compliance executives resigning. This comes amid a Fortune report alleging some executives left due to CEO Changpeng Zhao's handling of the U.S. DOJ's investigation. Hillmann stated that he is leaving on good terms and that it was time for him to move on to the next challenge. Zhao responded to the reports by calling them "FUD" and arguing that the reasons for the departures were "dreamed up".
