Crypto douchebag Changpeng Zhao, aka “CZ” to the fanboys in the online communities that worship his genius, was pardoned by convicted felon President Trump and his company Binance allowed to operate domestically again last year because the Orange God Emperor had decreed that it had been a “witch hunt” when the Biden DOJ prosecuted CZ for allowing terrorist groups, drug cartels, child sex trafficking rings, and all other Fox News villains to launder money through his crypto market.

This was of course TOTALLY unrelated to Zhao having partnered with Eric and Don Jr on the $TRUMP shitcoin and their “World Liberty Financial” scam operation. Basically just an “autopen” pardon. But in any case, what did Binance – no longer led by Zhao day-to-day but he still owns as much as 90 percent of the company – do with their newfound lease on business life in the US?

The above was self-plagiarized from a February 24th National Zero post headlined “‘CZ’ fired staff investigating Iran terror funding after Trump pardon,” because the initial underlying facts are all the same – as is the upstream source. This time the Wall Street Journal reports that federal prosecutors are now investigating whether Binance is still allowing Iran to evade Treasury Department sanctions, requesting from the company internal documents and records to see if they’re complying with the fiction that it was all a Biden witch hunt and they never laundered money for the Iranian regime.

The Journal posted the story at 7:00 AM EDT on Wednesday. At 8:10 AM EDT on Wednesday crypto podcaster Elanor Terrett tweeted that Binance had filed a federal defamation lawsuit against the Journal for their previous story about CZ firing all the internal watchdogs. Awesome timing.
