Changpeng “CZ” Zhao today denied reports of discussions regarding a potential deal involving President Trump’s family and Binance, stating that the Wall Street Journal article contained inaccurate information.
“I have had no discussions of a Binance US deal with … well, anyone,” CZ wrote on X, responding to what he described as widespread inquiries from media outlets.
The former CEO of Binance said more than 20 people informed him they were contacted by WSJ and another media outlet asking to confirm whether he “made some deal for a pardon.”
CZ suggested the article appeared to be “motivated as an attack on the President and crypto,” adding that “residual forces of the ‘war on crypto’ from the last administration are still at work.”
The crypto exchange founder, who faces prison time after pleading guilty to violating US anti-money laundering requirements, noted he was “the only one in US history who was ever sentenced to prison for a single BSA charge.”
“No felon would mind a pardon,” CZ added, while expressing his commitment to making “crypto great everywhere, US and the rest of the world.”
