How does Binance still operate then? Don’t they break every law in the book?

I think binance doesn't allow US citizens on its platform. They avoid everything US

Separate from international Binance (https://www.binance.com/en), but there is Binance US (https://www.binance.us/en).

Not a tall enough poppy, seems to operate in a way Malta does't mind.

Clarification that they are not based in Malta from Changpeng Zhao (CEO of Binance): https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1230860647086338048

They aren’t based in Malta! They are the biggest player in the entire industry! Not a tall enough poppy? Did you just google who Binance is?

At one point they were. Their company was registered at Abacus Business Centre, Level 1 Dun Karm Street, B`kara Bypass Birkirkara, Malta
