The Wall Street Journal reports the emergence of a 'pardon trade' industry where lobbyists allegedly charge $1 million to facilitate presidential pardons under Donald Trump's administration, with Binance CEO CZ cited as a beneficiary. CZ's pardon sparked controversy in Washington despite his lawyer asserting the pardon was impartial and unrelated to business activities. Binance stated its involvement with products connected to the pardon was limited and contractual, emphasizing no special influence.
