Binance founder Changpeng Zhao walked free from a U.S. correctional facility in California on Friday. He spent four months in jail after the court sentenced him for failing to implement an anti-money laundering program at Binance exchange.
In addition to the jail time, Zhao paid a $50 million personal fine, while Binance paid $4.3 billion in penalties. Reports indicate Binance’s penalties were part of a settlement related to anti-money laundering and sanctions law violations.
