Trump family held deal talks with Binance's US arm !!!

Representatives of President Donald Trump's family have held talks to take a financial stake in the U.S. arm of crypto exchange Binance, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
Binance's billionaire founder Changpeng Zhao has been pushing for the Trump administration to grant him a pardon, the report added citing people familiar with the matter.
In November 2023, Zhao stepped down as CEO of Binance and pleaded guilty to breaking U.S. anti-money laundering laws as part of a $4.3 billion settlement, resolving a years-long probe into the world's largest crypto exchange.
Binance had reached out to allies of Trump last year offering to strike a business deal with the family as part of a plan to return the exiled company to the U.S., according to the Journal's report.
