After U.S. President Joe Biden announced a pardon for his second son, Hunter Biden, some netizens suggested that Trump should also pardon Binance founder Zhao Changpeng after taking office, and that he could even hire Zhao Changpeng to head Trump's cryptocurrency department. (Background: Biden pardoned his eldest son; "The community calls for a pardon for CZ"; Zhao Changpeng responded: I will no longer be CEO; Trump criticized judicial unfairness.) (Additional background: Binance CZ officially released! Predictions of the three most likely things Zhao Changpeng will do next; BNB skyrocketed over $600) U.S. President Joe Biden announced yesterday (2nd) through a White House statement that he would pardon his second son, Hunter Biden, contrary to his previous promises. He stated that Hunter had faced unfair prosecution, and the charges against him had become a tool for political opponents to attack him. However, since Biden's team had previously stated multiple times that they would not use their power to grant pardons before withdrawing from the campaign, netizens mocked Biden, saying he was "no longer pretending." It is understood that Biden's second son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty by a jury in June of this year for illegally purchasing and possessing firearms, and in September, Hunter admitted to nine counts of tax violations. Zhao Changpeng: Willing to do his best to help Trump. In response, Zhao Changpeng (CZ), founder of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, also retweeted the news of Biden pardoning Hunter Biden on Twitter, adding a "concern" and "shrug" emoji, seemingly with a hint of sarcasm. Additionally, supporters of CZ commented that the newly elected pro-cryptocurrency U.S. President Trump should also pardon CZ and hire him as the head of his cryptocurrency department. Subsequently, CZ actively replied that although he is not a U.S. citizen, he is willing to do his best to help Trump. Could CZ heading Trump's cryptocurrency department trigger a surge in BNB? We know that Binance reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and other organizations last November and agreed to pay a hefty fine of $4.3 billion. CZ also admitted to violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws and resigned as CEO of Binance, ultimately being sentenced to four months in prison by the U.S. District Court in Seattle, and was released only at the end of September. Although CZ has stated he will not return to Binance, as the core figure who built the Binance empire, many netizens believe CZ will continue to influence Binance and its platform token BNB. If CZ really becomes the head of Trump's cryptocurrency department, he might become a catalyst for BNB.
