CZ’s Hail Mary: Binance Founder Sought Trump Pardon Before 2025 Sentencing
CZ’s Hail Mary: Binance Founder Sought Trump Pardon Before 2025 Sentencing
7

In a move that reeks of regulatory desperation—or perhaps just hedge-fund-level opportunism—Changpeng Zhao reportedly petitioned the Trump administration for clemency ahead of his looming legal reckoning. The ex-Binance CEO’s playbook? When in doubt, beg the guy who pardoned Steve Bannon.
Legal experts call it a long shot. Crypto Twitter calls it performance art. Either way, CZ’s grasping at political straws proves even billionaires panic when the DOJ comes knocking.
Bonus jab: Nothing says ’decentralized future’ like groveling for presidential favors while your exchange token bleeds out.
