The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance has frozen wallets that received more than 93,000 ether from two wallets indirectly linked to the troubled Russian exchange WEX.
The CEO of Binance responded to the accusations in supporting money laundering in his twitter:
the identified accounts are frozen, please report to law enforcement and have a case number. We will work with LE. This is part of centralization we hate too, dealing with other exchange's mess (we don't even know the details). But we will do what we can. https://t.co/tgyYI5ptqx

WEX is a successor to the defunct BTC-e exchange that inherited its infrastructure, has not allowed withdrawals for major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether since July.
