Former CEO of global cryptocurrency exchange Binance, Changpeng Zhao, was released from prison after serving 4 months.
According to CoinTelegraph on the 27th (local time), Zhao, the former CEO, was released from a U.S. federal prison after being imprisoned for 4 months on charges of violating anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Zhao stepped down as CEO of Binance last November after admitting to the charges.
At the time, the U.S. prosecutors had demanded a 36-month prison sentence for Zhao. The prosecutors emphasized that "the former CEO did not properly operate the AML system and provided cryptocurrency trading services to Iran and sanctioned countries." In April, the court sentenced Zhao to 4 months in prison and fined Binance $4.3 billion.
