CZ SLAMS WSJ報告指控他同意對賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）作證

前Binance首席執行官Changpeng“ CZ” Zhao強烈否認聲稱他同意對Tron創始人Justin Sun提供證據，這是與美國司法部（DOJ）的認罪協議的一部分。

Former Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao has slammed a report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) which claimed that he agreed to provide evidence against Tron founder Justin Sun as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

前Binance首席執行官Changpeng“ CZ” Zhao抨擊了《華爾街日報》（WSJ）的一份報告，該報告稱他同意向Tron創始人Justin Sun提供證據，作為與美國司法部（DOJ）的認罪協議的一部分。

The report, which was published on April 11, cited unnamed sources who alleged that CZ’s cooperation with prosecutors included testifying against Sun—an arrangement that “hasn’t previously been reported.” It added that the cooperation agreement was reached in 2024 as part of a plea deal for CZ to avoid prosecution for alleged crimes, including conspiracy to violate the money laundering statute.

該報告於4月11日發表，引用了未透露姓名的消息來源，稱CZ與檢察官的合作包括對太陽作證作證，這是“以前沒有報導的安排”。它補充說，合作協議是在2024年達成的，作為CZ認罪協議的一部分，以避免起訴被指控的犯罪，包括串謀違反洗錢法規。

However, taking to X on April 12, CZ pushed back against the claims with sharp criticism of the Journal’s reporting:

但是，在4月12日登上X，CZ反對對該期刊的報告的批評，反對這些主張：

"WSJ is really TRYING here. They seem to have forgotten who went to prison and who didn’t. People who become gov witnesses don’t go to prison. They are protected. I heard someone paid WSJ employees to smear me."

“ WSJ確實在這裡嘗試。他們似乎已經忘記了誰去監獄，誰沒有。

Zhao served a four-month prison sentence in 2024 for violations of anti-money laundering laws. He was released on September 27 and, with an estimated $60 billion net worth at the time, became the wealthiest individual to serve a U.S. prison sentence.

趙因違反反洗錢法律而在2024年服刑四個月。他於9月27日被釋放，當時估計有600億美元的淨資產，成為美國最富有的人判處判處美國監禁的人。

He further claimed that multiple people had warned him the Journal was preparing a “hit piece” against him.

他進一步聲稱，多人警告他該期刊正在對他準備“命中”。

"This is the type of financial reporting and analysis that has value. Not hit pieces written by someone who got paid to do so. Multiple ppl warned me that WSJ is preparing a hit piece against me. I didn’t believe it. But it seems to be true. Sadly, no surprise. "

“這是具有價值的財務報告和分析的類型。沒有得到報酬的人撰寫的作品。多個ppl警告我，WSJ正在準備對我的熱門作品。我不相信這一點。但這似乎是真的。可悲的是，毫不奇怪。”

The report also stated that the Journal contacted Sun, who responded that he was unaware of the rumors and dismissed any suggestion of bad blood.

該報告還指出，該期刊與Sun聯繫，Sun回答說他不知道謠言，並駁回了對血液的任何建議。

"Justin is a mentor and close friend, and I am grateful for his support. I am not aware of any rumors or speculation regarding Mr. Zhao's cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice," Sun said.

孫說：“賈斯汀是一位導師和密友，我感謝他的支持。我不知道關於趙先生與美國司法部合作的謠言或猜測。”

In a separate post, CZ suggested that lobbying efforts might be behind the recent negative headlines:

在另一篇文章中，CZ建議遊說工作可能是最近的負面標題：

"I also heard some rumors about some players ‘lobbying’ against us again in the US.

“我還聽到了一些有關一些球員在美國再次對陣我們的謠言。

Seems like the same players are trying to use the media to influence public opinion. הזוי."

似乎同一位玩家正在試圖利用媒體來影響公眾輿論。 ז。 ”

This isn't the first time CZ has raised concerns about behind-the-scenes efforts to discredit Binance. In late 2023, he accused the now-defunct FTX of lobbying regulators to target Binance, referencing a Federal Newswire report.

這並不是CZ首次對幕後抹黑binance的努力引起關注。 2023年下半年，他指責現已失去的FTX遊說監管機構以binance為目標，並提到了聯邦新聞報導。

At the time, CZ stated on X, "FTX was lobbying the U.S. Congress to close down Binance. They even got articles about it published in the Federal Newswire. It's quite interesting to see these lobbying efforts unfold."

CZ當時在X上說：“ FTX正在遊說美國國會關閉Binance。他們甚至收到了有關其發表在《聯邦新聞》中的文章。看到這些遊說努力不斷發展非常有趣。”

His comments followed a report by the news outlet, which highlighted a bipartisan group of lawmakers introducing legislation to "establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets and provide the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with clear authority to regulate crypto exchanges."

他的評論遵循新聞媒體的報告，該報告強調了一群兩黨的立法者介紹立法，以“為數字資產建立全面的監管框架，並為美國證券交易委員會（SEC）（SEC）提供明確的授權，以規範加密交易所。”

The report noted that the proposed bill, titled the "Digital Asset Innovation and Protection Act," aimed to "harmonize federal and state regulations, foster innovation in the digital asset sector, and protect consumers."

該報告指出，擬議的法案題為“數字資產創新和保護法”，旨在“協調聯邦和州法規，促進數字資產行業的創新並保護消費者”。

It was co-led by Senators Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), along with Representatives Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).

它由參議員比爾·哈格蒂（Bill Hagerty）（r-tenn。）和馬克·華納（Mark Warner）（d-va。）共同領導，以及代表湯姆·埃默（Tom Emmer）（R-Minn。）和Maxine Waters（D-Calif。）。

"This legislation will provide much-needed clarity and predictability for digital asset firms operating in the United States, and it is a critical step in positioning our economy to remain at the forefront of this rapidly developing technology," Emmer said in a statement.

Emmer在一份聲明中說：“這項立法將為在美國運營的數字資產公司提供急需的清晰度和可預測性，這是使我們的經濟保持至關重要的一步，即保持這項快速發展的技術的最前沿。”

The bill focused on establishing a licensing regime for crypto exchanges, aiming to register them with the SEC and provide express regulatory coverage for digital asset products, such as stablecoins and crypto derivatives. It also aimed to create a framework for cross-border cooperation in digital asset regulation.

該法案著重於建立加密交易所的許可製度，旨在向SEC註冊，並為數字資產產品（例如StableCoins和Crypto衍生產品）提供明確的監管覆蓋範圍。它還旨在為數字資產調節中的跨境合作創建一個框架。

"We need to create a regulatory framework that balances innovation and protection, and this legislation does just that," Warner added.

華納補充說：“我們需要創建一個平衡創新和保護的監管框架，這項立法就是這樣做的。”

The initiative came amid heightened attention on crypto regulation in the U.S. as the SEC stepped up enforcement actions against major players in the industry.

該倡議是在美國SEC對該行業主要參與者的執法行動中加強對加密貨幣法規的關注。

Earlier this year, the SEC sued Binance for allegedly operating an unregistered exchange, defrauding investors in crypto products, and flouting federal securities laws.

今年早些時候，SEC涉嫌經營未註冊的交易所，欺騙加密產品的投資者以及違反聯邦證券法的投資者。

The regulator also sued Ripple for allegedly selling unregistered securities in the form of XRP tokens. Both cases are pending in court.

監管機構還起訴Ripple，據稱以XRP令牌出售未註冊的證券。這兩個案件都在法庭上待定。

In December 2023, FTX filed for bankruptcy after facing a liquidity crisis. Its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, is currently facing criminal charges for allegedly misusing customer funds and defrauding investors in a multi-year scheme.

2023年12月，FTX面臨流動性危機後申請破產。它的創始人山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman Fried）目前因涉嫌濫用客戶資金和在多年計劃中欺騙投資者而面臨刑事指控。

Bankman-Fried's trial is set to begin on October 25. He has pleaded

Bankman-Fried的審判定於10月25日開始。
