The CEO of #Binance which is the biggest cryptocurrency exchange globally, is currently dealing with a situation involving the propagation of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) on social media. This #fud is the result of unfounded rumors that he has been placed on Interpol's "red notice" list. For those who are not aware, a red notice is a request sent to law enforcement agencies worldwide, urging them to locate and arrest an individual on a provisional basis pending extradition, surrender, or any similar legal action.
The rumors have been further fueled by an image circulating on Twitter that purportedly shows a photo of #ChangpengZhao (CZ) on Interpol's red notice webpage. This photo has caused alarm and speculation among the public, with many believing that #CZ is facing severe legal issues.
However, CZ has now confirmed that the image is fake and has been created using photo manipulation software. As such, there is no evidence to suggest that he has been placed on Interpol's red notice list, and the rumors should be treated as baseless until further clarification is provided.
Crypto influencer Cobie tweeted a SHA256 hash with an encrypted message that stated, "Interpol Red Notice for CZ," which sparked rumors that the agency was looking for CZ.
According to Cobie, the message was only a rumor and an unlikely prediction, and nobody should have been able to see it.
“Have posted SHA256 hash of rumours >20 times in the last year without the secret being revealed – the point of a hash commitment scheme is nobody is supposed to be able to read them until after the secret is revealed… Well, it’s a ‘prediction’ and a rumor. It’s obviously impossible for it to be inside info without their being literal leaks at Interpol which seems unlikely.”
CZ advises anyone who are involved in the #cryptocurrency sector to disregard rumors and speculation that are not confirmed.
