Asked To Resign
Changpeng Zhao has become one of the main players in the crypto ecosystem, leading the biggest crypto broker until a few days ago when he was faced with law enforcement action.
He was asked to resign from his position as CEO of Binance as part of the agreed settlement of the trade platform with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).
The founders of Binance and its exchanges have been under DOJ observations since 2018 for money laundering and violations of the KYC (Know Your Customer) rules. He was detained for several hours and pleaded guilty to charges of not running an anti-money laundering system. He was released on personal guarantees of 175 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 2.7 trillion.
The verdict hearing is scheduled to be held in February 2024. Meanwhile, Binance founders are prohibited from violating the law, disturbing witnesses, or using hazardous substances. Recently, the United States Prosecutor wanted to prevent him from traveling abroad until the date set for the trial.
