My notes on the first interview with Changpeng Zhao (CZ) after his release: about prison, priorities, and the future ✨ PART 1
Yesterday Changpeng Zhao(CZ) gave his first interview after being released from prison, sharing personal reflections, new priorities, and plans.
🏛️ About his time in prison
• CZ described his sentence as unfair. This was the first case of such magnitude in the history of the cryptocurrency industry.
• "What do you have left when everything is taken away?"
Time alone without freedom allowed him to reassess his priorities. When he asked himself, "What do you miss the most?" he realized he missed the connection with loved ones: family, friends, colleagues, and the community. This period helped him understand the true values in life.
• Interestingly, even in prison, guards would ask him about cryptocurrency. CZ noted that overall, people in prison turned out to be "nice & chill," and he still keeps in touch with some of them.
• CZ is currently helping the people he met in prison with their legal cases. One of his new friends from incarceration even attended a meeting in the hall!
📈 What is the current relationship with Binance?
At the moment, CZ still remains a shareholder of Binance but does not participate in management and cannot give orders. Moreover, he does not plan to return to the role of CEO.
