In particular, they considered the SEC\u2019s demand for clarification and the depositions of BAM CEO Brian Shroder and CFO Jasmine Lee to be \u201cunreasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shroder and Lee were not actively involved in the day-to-day activities involving the custody and transfer of customer funds at <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/binance-us-joins-forces-with-moonpay-to-address-transaction-challenges\/\">Binance.US<\/a>, according to the legal team for BAM Trading Services.
