๐Ÿ””Big news in the #crypto world! Binance founder, Changpeng โ€œCZโ€ Zhao, has reported to a federal prison in California for a four-month sentence. He pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act due to inadequate KYC procedures at Binance.๐Ÿ’ผ

Despite the hefty $50 million fine and stepping down as Binanceโ€™s CEO, CZ's net worth remains a whopping $36.5 billion, making him the richest person to ever go to prison in the U.S.๐Ÿ’ฐ

Binance, on the other hand, settled its charges earlier this year with $4.3 billion in fines and an independent compliance monitor.๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš–๏ธ

CZ's new home? Lompac II, a low-security prison in Santa Barbara County. Quite a contrast to the notorious facility where former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year sentence.๐Ÿข
