CZ Takes Aim at NYT After Alleged Smear About Trump-Linked Memecoin Dinner

Changpeng Zhao, better known as CZ, has publicly challenged The New York Times over an alleged smear related to a recent dinner focused on a memecoin linked to former US President Donald Trump. In his response on the X platform (formerly Twitter), CZ asserts that the NYT is attempting to fabricate a connection between him and attendees at this event. His defense highlights how his interaction with Tianying He, known as ‘Sky’ on X, solely involved an online follow based on a branded clothing item linked to Binance, without any political discussion.
