Binance Founder CZ to Likely Get 36 Months Prison
As reported earlier, Binance founder CZ is currently in great trouble. Allegedly, while operating on U.S. soil, Binance provided aid to recognized terrorist organizations, such as Hamas, al Qaeda, and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, as well as unlicensed and illegal money transmission.

As previously stated, new international publications highlight the U.S. prosecutors’ fervent desire to pursue a 36-year prison sentence for Zhao. Zhao is under increased scrutiny because of the response he is receiving from the worldwide crypto community, and there are expectations that CZ will be sentenced to prison on April 30.
The founder of Binance is currently free on a $175 million bail bond. However, in a subsequent hearing, U.S. prosecutors contended that “a sentence of 36 months is warranted given the magnitude of Zhao’s willful violation of U.S. law and its consequences.”

He continued “Financial institutions are the first line of defense for the U.S. financial system.
