Changpeng Zhao Refutes Claims of Meddling in World Liberty Financial Transactions

Ex-Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has refuted allegations of playing a "fixer" role in transactions involving World Liberty Financial (WLF). He accuses the Wall Street Journal of publishing misleading content with malicious intent. The publication suggested CZ facilitated meetings between WLF and government officials in Pakistan, Malaysia, and Kyrgyzstan.

He denied these allegations, asserting he was not a “fixer” and had no role in introducing a Pakistani official to WLF. Zhao also insinuated the article was part of a larger scheme to obstruct growth in the crypto industry. In the past, CZ has accused the WSJ of publishing false articles with political motivations, aimed at harming his and Binance's reputation.
