🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP PARDONS CZ — “WHAT HE DID ISN’T EVEN A CRIME!” 🇺🇸💥💰
In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the crypto world (and panic through Washington), President Donald Trump has officially pardoned Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao — declaring the charges against him were “not even a crime.”
Trump, speaking at a fiery press conference, said the decision came after “a lot of people” vouched for CZ’s innocence.
> “I don’t know him, never met him,” Trump said, “but people told me he was persecuted by the Biden Administration. They said it wasn’t a crime. I listened.”
And just like that — boom — the crypto community erupted. 🔥 Binance confirmed the pardon late Wednesday, calling it a “historic moment for fairness and innovation.”
CZ’s legal team echoed the sentiment, slamming the original conviction:
> “No fraud. No victims. No money laundering. Just a compliance issue,” said attorney Teresa Goody Guillén. “CZ was the first person in U.S. history to be jailed for this kind of technical violation.”
The original charge? A failure to maintain an effective anti-money-laundering program — a paperwork-level offense that somehow landed him behind bars for four months. Now, thanks to Trump’s signature, that record could be wiped clean — and CZ might even return to Binance’s helm. 🧢💼
CZ responded humbly but firmly on X (formerly Twitter):
> “Deeply grateful for the President’s trust. We’ll work harder than ever to make America the Capital of Crypto and push Web3 forward.”
