IMO, @cz_binance deserved to get pardoned. His prosecution was politically motivated and his punishment was disproportionate. He was thrown in jail for failing to maintain an effective compliance program. Bankers have compliance failures all the time and they never get perp walked. They pay fines and go on their way. Crypto shouldn't be held to a double standard. And FWIW, CZ always did right by his customers and onboarded millions around the world into crypto, giving them a shot at financial freedom and a better life. In terms of a level playing field, it's not CZ's fault that the US fucked over our industry at every turn over the last decade. Whatever Binance's violations were, they never would have been an advantage over US crypto companies if every three-letter agency and financial regulator in the US hadn't attacked, hobbled, and stifled US crypto companies every step of the way. The fact that not following the rules was an advantage, not a disadvantage, is an indictment on a decade of failed US policy more than anything.
