CZ Denies Testimony for Sun; Says ‘WSJ is Trying Hard’

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has denied allegations that he agreed to testify against Tron founder Justin Sun as part of his settlement with U.S. authorities. The Wall Street Journal reported on April 11th, citing unnamed sources, that CZ had cooperated with the Department of Justice (DOJ). Zhao responded promptly via social media platform X. ‘WSJ is really TRYING here,’ he wrote. ‘They seem to have forgotten who went to prison and who didn’t. People who become government witnesses don’t go to prison. They are protected.’
