Changpeng Zhao says he ‘wouldn’t mind a pardon’ from Donald Trump
The former Binance CEO already pleaded guilty to one felony charge and served four months in prison, but receiving a presidential pardon could present certain opportunities.
Former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao suggested that he would be open to receiving a federal pardon from United States President-elect Donald Trump for a felony charge.
In a Dec. 1 reply to TelosX co-founder John Lilic on X, Zhao said he “wouldn’t mind a pardon” from Trump, who is scheduled to be inaugurated as the 47th US President on Jan. 20.
As part of a settlement with authorities in November 2023, the former Binance CEO pleaded guilty to a criminal charge related to his failure to maintain an effective Anti-Money Laundering program at the crypto exchange.
