Changpeng Zhao in Podcasts

President Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, who had been in prison for money laundering.

Back in March, the Journal reported that Zhao, who pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws in 2023, had been seeking a pardon while representatives of the Trump family held talks to invest in the U.S. arm of Binance. Zhao and Binance denied the talks, though Zhao has confirmed seeking a pardon.
