Quick Glance: DOJ Calls for Binance Founder to Spend Three Years in Prison

The U.S. Department of Justice stated that Binance's founder, Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, should spend three years in prison for enabling the crypto exchange to violate federal laws on money laundering and sanctions.

Zhao pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, with the DOJ recommending a 36-month prison sentence and a $50 million fine.

Emphasizing the need for a significant punishment, the DOJ highlighted Zhao's financial gains from illegal activities and the importance of deterring others from similar actions.

The court will decide between incarceration and probation for Zhao, with his defense arguing against his knowledge of specific transactions and advocating for probation due to a lack of risk of repeat offenses.
