So he was pardoned for justice, no fraud and no victims, no criminal history or anything like that. So he was treated much differently than everybody else has ever been treated historically.
Is there some payment, like maybe Trump's got like a secret Bitcoin wallet and either CZ or Binance sent money directly? Or is there anything like that that you think has credence that is maybe more of like the conspiratorial critiques that people have talked about? What's going on, guys? Today, we have a very important and serious conversation. I'm sitting down with Teresa Goody-Geehan. She's CZ's personal lawyer, and she's been very involved in the pardon that CZ received. I've seen tons of controversy online as to the pardon he received, how he received it, whether it was pay to play, and if there was any corruption involved. I reached out to Teresa and I said, why don't we sit down? Let me ask you all of the questions that people have, the hard ones and the easy ones.
And that's what we're going to do in today's conversation. Here's my conversation with Teresa Goodygean. Teresa, you're here to give us the inside scoop on CZ, the pardon, and answer a lot of questions from many critics. Help us understand what was CZ charged with and what was the rationale behind him getting this pardon?
So he was charged with Binance's failure to implement and maintain anti-money laundering programs, compliance programs. And so to be clear, this is a regulatory infraction. It's a compliance issue. There's no money laundering involved. It's just the failure for Binance to implement an anti-money laundering program. And he was pardoned because he never should have been prosecuted in the first place. And even the president said himself when he had pardoned him that he didn't understand him to have committed any crimes and that he shouldn't have been prosecuted. So he was pardoned for justice, basically to bring justice. He's the only person who has ever been prosecuted and then worse, sent to prison for, you know, this specific charge or anything similar with the characteristics of, like, no fraud and no victims, no criminal history or anything like that.
So he was treated much differently than everybody else has ever been treated historically.
Why do you think that he was treated differently?
I think it was part of the war on crypto. And at that point, this was close after the FTX collapse. And I think that the war on crypto had to go against somebody and they had to prosecute somebody and really persecute someone. And unfortunately, that ended up being Binance and CZ.
Now, if I understand this correctly, the company itself was doing this or not doing this, and that's why they were, the regulators went after them. Is it common for the executive to be held liable? You know, on one hand, I could see people saying, hey, the CEO should be held liable for what the business does. On the other hand, my understanding just on some cursory Google searches is like, you know, large banks or other financial institutions have been charged with similar things, but the executives themselves have not been pulled into it.
