[Zhao Changpeng Considers Filing Defamation Lawsuit Against U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren] Binance founder Zhao Changpeng is considering filing a defamation lawsuit against Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. Previously, Warren posted a tweet on the social media platform X, accusing Zhao Changpeng of being imprisoned for criminal money laundering and claiming that he funded President Trump's stablecoin in exchange for a pardon. Zhao Changpeng, through his attorney Teresa Goody Guillen, sent a letter to Warren demanding a retraction of the statements and emphasized that he has never been convicted of money laundering. According to a plea agreement, Zhao Changpeng violated the Bank Secrecy Act by failing to establish adequate anti-money laundering controls during Binance's operations, which led to his resignation as Binance CEO. If Warren does not formally retract her statements, Zhao Changpeng will take legal action.
