“Crypto King CZ’s Trump Pardon Plot? 🤣 WSJ’s Wild Ride!”

by

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao just rolled his eyes so hard, they spun back to 2007. He’s like, “Nah, bro, I haven’t chatted up Trump’s fam about Binance.US. That’s some Wall Street Journal wizardry right there.”

WSJ’s report? A magical tale of secret meetings and crypto dreams. CZ’s response? A big, fat “LOL, nope.”

Let’s Get to the Meat of This Drama

Zhao took to the interwebs on March 13, essentially saying, “I’ve had zero ‘let’s make a deal’ convos with anyone. Period.”

He goes on to say that a whole bunch of people (like, more than 20) got calls from WSJ and co. asking if he was wheeling and dealing for a presidential “get out of jail free” card.

WSJ’s story? Zhao was supposedly trying to get Trump to say, “You’re forgiven, now go run Binance.” But CZ is all, “That’s some next-level fiction, folks.”

He’s calling the report a political hit job, saying it’s out to get Trump and crypto. Also, he’s dropping truth bombs about the “war on crypto” leftovers trying to stir the pot.

Oh, and remember that time CZ did a little time for not playing by the U.S. money laundering rules? He’s like, “Sure, a pardon would be cool, but I’m still all about that crypto life, USA and beyond.”

Will CZ Stage a Crypto Comeback?

Last year, Binance was like, “We’ll pay $4.3 billion, just please don’t hit us with the ban hammer.” And CZ? He was all, “My bad for not having our anti-money laundering game on point.”

After that, CZ stepped down as CEO, with whispers that he’s barred from Binance’s big boy chair. But a Trump pardon? That could flip the script.

Since Trump’s been in office, it’s been a crypto love fest, reversing the previous admin’s “crypto? no thanks” policy.

And with Mark Uyeda at the SEC helm, crypto firms are breathing easier. Cases paused, dropped like it’s hot. It’s a whole new world, folks.
