CZ Speaks Out: The Statement That Shakes Binance

After his resignation, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (known as CZ) finally speaks out on the ongoing legal debacle. The former Binance CEO emphasizes a crucial point: his mental stability.

In his statement, CZ acknowledges the massive support from Binance users and the public. “I cannot respond individually to wishes. But I truly appreciate the kind words addressed to me”, he highlighted.

This public first step offers an insight into the resilient personality of the Binance founder. More importantly, it paves the way for speculation on how he will perceive this unexpected transition.

“I am preparing for an unexpected transition after joking for years about early retirement,” he said. In a twist of fate, his wish seems indeed to be coming true in an unexpected way.

The legal case currently shaking Binance has its roots in allegations of money laundering and non-compliance with KYC regulations. Indeed, since 2018, the DOJ has been monitoring CZ and Binance. This led to a recent lawsuit demanding CZ’s resignation as CEO of Binance.

After pleading guilty to a failure in managing anti-money laundering systems, CZ was released on a personal bail of $175 million. While his sentencing hearing is scheduled for next February, US prosecutors have added new restrictions. The motion prohibits CZ from leaving the country.

CZ Under the DOJ’s Radar

CZ’s statement about his alleged mental resilience has elicited mixed reactions. Certainly, the Binance founder does not entirely agree with the perception of his resilience. Nevertheless, he remains certain of his mental stability. Of course, the restrictions imposed by the DOJ add a new level of uncertainty.

The Binance affair continues to captivate the crypto world. CZ’s statement marks a turning point in this saga, leaving uncertainty hanging over the future of the largest exchange platform.
