On July 26, some Binance fans shared their expectations on the X platform that Binance founder Zhao Changpeng planned to complete his sentence on August 30. However, fact checking showed that he would not actually be released on this date. Back on April 30, U.S. District Judge Richard Jones sentenced Zhao Changpeng to four months in Seattle Prison and recommended that he be sent to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Prison (Seatac). This decision initially led to widespread speculation that if Zhao Changpeng was imprisoned immediately, August 30 should be his release date. However, Zhao Changpeng's legal team actively intervened to gain more free time for him. Their efforts delayed Zhao Changpeng'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. Currently, according to a check of the Bureau of Prisons database, Zhao Changpeng is indeed in FCI Lompoc II. As for his exact release date, unless there are unexpected circumstances, it has been confirmed to be September 29, instead of August 30 as previously widely circulated.
