Binance Founder Zhao Seeks Trump Pardon After Prison Release

Changpeng Zhao, founder and former CEO of Binance, has formally requested a presidential pardon from Donald Trump following his release from prison last year for violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws. The application was submitted two weeks ago, according to a recent podcast interview on Farokh Radio, after media reports surfaced highlighting alleged discussions between Zhao and Trump regarding crypto ventures. Zhao’s legal team filed the request after public speculation arose from media coverage.
