Another hit piece from Wall Street Journal. WSJ instead of doing journalism, has pretty much resorted to Cunningham’s Law, with negative intentions.
"Cunningham's Law: The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer." - Wikipedia
This is NOT how journalism should work.
A few days ago, WSJ asked me (through the PR team) a long list of questions with wrong and negative assumptions.
We told them there are “numerous inaccuracies and unfounded inferences.” They asked, can you point out the inaccuracies?
If you get a couple of factual errors wrong, it’s possible to fix. When you make up a story with negative intentions to begin with, there is no way to fix the “inaccuracies.” It’s the entire story.
Just a few snippets from WSJ’s questions to me:
“We understand that CZ has been serving as effectively a fixer for Zach Witkoff and the WLF team in their foreign travels … In recent months, CZ has met with government officials from Pakistan, Malaysia and Kyrgyzstan … We understand that CZ then connected Mr Saqib with the World Liberty Financial team, and a week later after his visit, World Liberty named Mr Saqib an adviser. On April 26, the WLF team arrived in Pakistan to sign a MoU with the government.”
Then WSJ published:
“Helping facilitate some introductions for World Liberty’s foreign travels is Changpeng Zhao, founder of the crypto exchange Binance … World Liberty’s spokesman said Zhao and Zach Witkoff are friends but that Zhao doesn’t act as a fixer.”
Fact:
I am not a fixer for anyone. I did NOT “connect Mr. Saqib with the WLF team”. They had known each other way back, whereas I only met with Mr. Saqib for the first time in Pakistan. I did NOT make any “introductions for World Liberty’s foreign travels.”
I won’t bore you with all the other details. But you get the idea...
WSJ is just the mouthpiece. There are forces in the US that want to hinder efforts in making the US the capital of crypto. They want to attack crypto, global crypto leaders, and the pro-crypto administration.
