    <p>Sullivan &amp; Cromwell, the law firm involved with the ongoing <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="FTX" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ftx.html">FTX</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="bankruptcy" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bankruptcy.html">bankruptcy</a> case, is reportedly set to be appointed as <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>’s independent <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="monitor" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/monitor.html">monitor</a>, following its $4.3 billion settlement with the US government.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>As reported by Bloomberg, anonymous sources close to the matter claim that Sullivan &amp; Cromwell is the US Justice Department’s number-one pick, and its approval is close.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Sullivan &amp; Cromwell reportedly beat out an array of rival legal firms for the position and firm partner Sharon Cohen Levin is likely to lead the monitorship team.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>The role will give Sullivan &amp; Cromwell access to Binance records, including details on past and present employers, and its facilities. The firm will then <strong>update the government at least six times over the coming years</strong> on any potential misconduct from Binance.&nbsp;</p>
