Convicted felon President Trump on Thursday pardoned former Changpeng Zhao, founder and former CEO of corrupt crypto trading platform Binance, who had served a four month bid in prison last year, the Wall Street Journal reports. Despite Zhao having already done his time, this is not a harmless post-facto amnesty as there’s absolutely a very corrupt quid pro quo involved.
Zhao, who worked with the Trump family on their crypto scam operation World Liberty Financial and the $TRUMP shitcoin, will per the Journal likely be allowed to bring Binance back to the US market two years after the Biden Administration’s SEC had banned it from operating here for said crimes.
Krazy Korline confirmed the pardon to the Journal, saying that her fat orange boss had “exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency. The Biden Administration’s war on crypto is over.”
