Odaily Planet Daily News According to Protos, CZ's release date is September 29, not August 30 as rumored online. It is reported that August 30 should be the day of CZ's release. But CZ's lawyer team actively intervened and fought for more free time for him before going to prison. Their efforts delayed CZ's imprisonment until late May, and he was not stationed in Seatac as originally planned, but was transferred to FCI Lompoc II, a low-security federal prison located three hours north of Los Angeles.
