(The Guardian) Trump pardons founder of Binance, world’s largest crypto exchange
Donald Trump issued a pardon for the founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange on Thursday. “President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” a White House statement said. “The war on crypto is over.”
Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty in late 2023 to one count of failing to maintain an anti-money laundering program and stepped down as CEO of Binance, which paid $4.3bn to settle related allegations. He was sentenced to four months in prison.
