According to Protos, due to some procedures of the US criminal justice system and the protection of due process under the Fifth Amendment, former Binance CEO CZ has not been imprisoned despite receiving a four-month sentence. According to the judgment signed by the judge, Zhao Changpeng should surrender himself after being notified by the probation or pretrial services office. At present, the relevant units have not notified Zhao Changpeng that he must enter the California prison.

The office has reportedly been conducting a statutory review of the suitability of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Federal Detention Center and Jail (Seatac) for CZ’s personal circumstances to avoid any legal remedy for failure to provide constitutional due process.
