Legal Troubles for Binance Co-founder

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao is set to be released from US custody on Sept. 29 after serving a four-month sentence. Zhao's legal issues began in November when he and Binance pleaded guilty to breaking US federal laws, resulting in fines and his resignation as CEO.
