The Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation has categorically denied that patient data or information was ever to be transferred to any third party, including the Blockchain Charity Foundation.
"All patient information is treated as strictly confidential and in accordance with the law. The Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation further reiterates its steadfast respect towards the protection of all patient information and their private details."
The statement by the Foundation came in response to an article that appeared on the Times of Malta, which read that a cryptocurrency foundation holding around €7 million worth of donation pledges for cancer patients said that "it is waiting for information from the Malta Community Chest Fund to be able to distribute the funds." The report reads that the donations were in a state of limbo since 2018.
The report read that Binance's charity foundation was waiting for the Community Chest Fund to verify patient information and medical bills, as well as their crypto wallet address.
Binance and the Community Chest Fund are locked in a legal battle over the donation pledges.
