Web3 is going just great [English] - DOJ reportedly seeking $4 billion resolution to Binance investigation, with possible criminal charges against CEO
- 21 novembre -
According to Bloomberg, ongoing negotiations between the U.S. Department of Justice and Binance have involved penalties greater than $4 billion as part of ending an ongoing, multi-year probe into the exchange. Such a settlement would not insulate founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao from criminal charges.
The negotiation may involve a deferred prosecution agreement, in which the US would file a criminal complaint but agree not to prosecute so long as Binance met agreed conditions under a monitoring process.
It remains to be seen if this is the avenue the DOJ and Binance will go with. A Bloomberg source speculated that a decision could come within the next few weeks.
