July 6 (Reuters) - Binance's Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann has quit the cryptocurrency exchange, he said in a tweet on Thursday.
Last month, U.S. regulators sued Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao for allegedly operating a "web of deception" and filed 13 charges in a federal court in Washington D.C. Binance has said it would defend itself "vigorously."
"It's true that I am leaving Binance," Hillmann said in a tweet, adding that he was doing so on good terms.
Hillmann had joined the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange in 2021 and became the chief strategy officer in October last year.
