Binance Founder CZ Claims Mental Stability Amidst Legal Debacle

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance and former CEO, has stated that he is mentally stable despite recent legal issues. He expressed gratitude for the support he has received from the public and Binance users, although he has not been able to respond to most of them. Zhao has joked in the past about retiring early as Binance CEO, but did not expect it to happen so soon or in this manner. He has been hit with legal enforcement action related to money laundering and Know-Your-Customer rules, and has pleaded guilty to charges of defaulting on anti-money laundering systems. He is currently on a $175 million personal recognizance bond and is prohibited from breaking the law or traveling out of the country until his sentence hearing in February.
