Changpeng Zhao, the founder and CEO of Binance, resigned and pleaded guilty to violating US anti-money laundering laws, part of a historic $4.3 billion settlement. The settlement, among the largest in US corporate history, includes a personal payment of $50 million from Zhao. Prosecutors outlined Binance’s breach of US anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, citing the failure to report over 100,000 suspicious transactions involving entities labeled as terrorist groups by the US, including Hamas, al Qaeda, and ISIS.

Who is Changpeng Zhao?

Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, is a Chinese-Canadian business executive, founder of Binance. He entered the cryptocurrency space in 2013, founded Binance in 2017, and played a key role in its rapid rise to become one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. Despite success, regulatory challenges arose, leading to the recent settlement.

What’s Next for Zhao?

The Justice Department seeks an 18-month prison sentence for Zhao, the maximum suggested under federal guidelines. Zhao’s net worth is $10.2 billion, and despite the substantial fine, legal experts believe his ownership stake in Binance minimizes the likelihood of significant jail time.
