Six New Brain Injuries, Attacked at Home At least six US government employees have been treated at Walter Reed since the summer for confirmed or suspected brain injuries from directed energy attacks inside the United States, Catherine Herridge reports. In 2024 The Insider, Der Spiegel and 60 Minutes tied the attacks to GRU Unit 29155. Under the HAVANA Act an injured employee gets one payment of up to $187,300 at 2022 pay levels. The Pentagon made its first payments in July 2026, five years after the law passed. In June the DNI withdrew two assessments that had called a foreign hand very unlikely. No one has been indicted for an attack on a US employee.

Binance's Russia and China File The exchange holding most of the Trump family's stablecoin traded with users in occupied Crimea, handed a Ukraine donor's records to Russia and hid China offices. Part 3 of 3. Binance holds about 87% of World Liberty Financial's USD1, the Trump family's stablecoin, Forbes found. Between August 2017 and October 2022 Binance executed more than 1.67 million trades between Americans and users in sanctioned jurisdictions, including Iran, North Korea, Syria and the Crimea region of Ukraine, the Treasury Department found, and prosecutors listed Russian occupied regions of Ukraine among the places where illegal transactions occurred. In September 2023 Binance sold its Russia business to CommEX, an exchange launched the day before. In 2025 Binance gave Russian investigators the transaction history of Yury Belenky, including transfers to Ukrainian fundraisers, and on October 26 a Russian military court sentenced him to 13 years for financing terrorism over donations of more than $700, Reuters reported. In July 2026 UNITED24 Media found a Binance page titled How to Buy Wrapped A7A5 Safely Through Binance Wallet. A7A5 is a ruble stablecoin under US and EU sanctions, backed by a state owned Russian bank sanctioned for financing the defense industry. Internal documents reviewed by the Financial Times showed Binance kept a mainland China office until 2019, paid staff through a Shanghai bank and told employees to acknowledge only offices in Malta, Singapore and Uganda. In December 2025 Binance named co-founder Yi He, who has children with Zhao, co-CEO, Fortune reported. Part 3 of 3.

Guilty, Lobbied, Pardoned Binance's founder pleaded guilty in 2023. Binance helped build the Trump family coin, paid a Trump Jr. associate to lobby and got a pardon. Part 2 of 3. In November 2023 Binance founder Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program, the Justice Department announced. Binance paid $4.3 billion and agreed to an independent monitor. Treasury found Binance never filed a single suspicious activity report and failed to report well over 100,000 suspicious transactions, including with Al Qaeda, ISIS and Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades. Zhao served four months in 2024 and remains Binance's largest shareholder. On October 23 2025 President Trump pardoned him. In March 2025 the Wall Street Journal reported Trump family representatives held talks on a stake in Binance's US arm, that Binance had approached Trump allies in 2024 and that Steve Witkoff was involved. That spring Binance helped build World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin. In February 2025 Binance and Zhao retained lawyer Teresa Goody Guillén, and in late September Binance paid the firm of Ches McDowell, a close associate of Donald Trump Jr., $450,000 for one month of lobbying the White House and Treasury on executive relief, Politico reported. In February 2026 Zhao spoke at World Liberty's forum at Mar-a-Lago and told Bloomberg Binance wants to do much more business in the US. Part 2 of 3.
