In 2018 and 2019, Binance staff approached Gary Gensler, then a former Commodity Futures Trading Commission chair and now SEC chair, to become an adviser. Mr. Gensler, then teaching at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was “likely back in a regulators seat if Dems win the 2020 election," a Binance employee told colleagues on a chat.

Ella Zhang, then head of Binance’s venture investing arm, and Harry Zhou met with Mr. Gensler in October 2018, according to the chat. Mr. Zhou wrote: “I observe that while Gensler declined advisor-ship, he was generous in sharing license strategies."

According to the WSJ, which cited messages and documents from 2018 to 2020, Ella Zhang, who was then the head of Binance’s venture investing arm, and Harry Zhou, co-founder of Binance-invested firm Koi Trading, first met with Gensler in October 2018 to offer him an advisory position. Gensler later declined the offer.
