Binanceās CEO, Richard Teng, has confirmed that former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is permanently barred from managing or operating the crypto exchange. Contrary to previous reports suggesting a three-year ban, Teng clarified that CZ faces a lifetime ban.
CZ, who had been sentenced to four months in prison for violating the Bank Secrecy Act, is expected to be released in the coming weeks. His plea deal includes a permanent prohibition from involvement in Binanceās operations. However, this step was listed as a āconsiderationā for prosecutors rather than a legal requirement.
Additionally, the settlement included CZ personally paying US regulators $50 million. Despite this, Binanceās case with the US Securities and Exchange Commission continues, with evolving legal challenges still ahead for the exchange.
