Former Binance CEO Receives Four-Month Prison Sentence, Oregon Revokes Binance.US License

in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Compliance

Former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has been sentenced to four months in prison for violating U.S. money laundering laws, according to a United States judge. Prosecutors had recommended a three-year sentence for Zhao’s failure to maintain an effective Anti-Money Laundering program during his tenure at the crypto exchange, to which he pleaded guilty. However, Judge Richard Jones stated that there was no evidence Zhao “was ever informed” of specific illegal activities at Binance, rejecting the prosecution’s request to increase the sentence.

Despite the relatively light sentence and substantial fines, some observers have noted the U.S. authorities’ ongoing investigation into Zhao and his crypto empire over the past six years. Aaron Lane, a senior law lecturer at Melbourne’s RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub, remarked that the main rationale behind the imprisonment term seems to be general deterrence. Lane also suggested that the U.S. was justified in bringing charges against Zhao, though he emphasized that the charges were regulatory in nature and not directly comparable to other cases, such as the fraud conviction of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

In related news, Oregon has become the sixth state to revoke, suspend, or decline to renew Binance.US’ license to operate within its jurisdiction. This decision follows similar actions taken by other states earlier in 2024.

Additionally, a Nigerian court has postponed the trial of Binance executives, including its head of financial crime compliance, Tigran Gambaryan, and regional manager Nadeem Anjarwalla, in a money laundering case. Lawyers representing Binance stated that they had not yet received the necessary documents to proceed with the trial. The trial, initially scheduled to begin on May 2, has been adjourned until May 17 to allow the legal team time to review the documents. The case is separate from tax evasion charges brought against the same parties by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, with all defendants pleading not guilty to the money laundering allegations.
